A Novel Dual-Band Planar Wilkinson Power Divider

Article Preview

Abstract:

A two-way symmetrical modified Wilkinson power divider with shifted output ports and wide range frequency-ratio is proposed for dual-band application. The symmetrical Wilkinson power divider consists of one section coupled line, one section microstrip line, the shifting of two output ports to the middle, two open stubs at the input port and an isolation resistor. The corresponding nonlinear design equations are derived by using the even- and odd-mode analysis. Moreover, solving the nonlinear design equations by optimization algorithms, accurate numerical design parameters along with different frequency ratios are obtained. Finally, the proposed structure and design method are validated by simulation and experimental results of microstrip planar Wilkinson power divider.
