Design of an Ultra-Wideband Wilkinson Power Divider in Modern Electronic Engineering

Abstract:

In this paper, an ultra-wideband Wilkinson power divider based on the quarter wavelength transformation is proposed. The proposed power divider utilizes the resonance property of the four stage quarter wavelength microstrip stubs to increase the isolation between the to output ports. As the measured results show that, the power divider has the insertion loss less than 1.3dB with the minimum isolation 15.4dB in the working frequency range from 1GHz to 5GHz. The simulated results and measured results are in good agreement and the proposed power divider can be applied in the communication systems in modern electronic engineering.
