A Novel Planar Power Divider/Combiner for Wideband High-Power Applications

This manuscript presents a novel wideband power divider with high handling capability. The capacity of the is increased through use grounded 50 ohm loads. full circuit analysis single section proposed structure presented utilizing even and odd modes ABCD matrices. final designed sections are cascaded extended to achieve bandwidth response for target X-band. was optimized method moments based on ADS software simulated in HFSS 3D full-wave analysis. A prototype module fabricated measured experimental validation. simulation results were confirmed by measurements frequency band 7–12 GHz (more than 52% fractional bandwidth). such as one has significantly higher Wilkinson, well wider Gysel dividers. As high-power divider, device ideal high-data rate radar or satellite applications.
