Wilkinson Type Lumped Element Combiner-Splitter for Indigenous Amplifier Development

Lumped Element 180 Wilkinson Dividers and a Rat-Race Divider

-A lumped element 180 Wilkinson divider consisting of 11 elements was presented in 2003. It used a conventional Wilkinson divider, a -90 and a +90 phase shifter of πand T-type. In this paper, that of 10 elements is newly presented. Frequency characteristics of the two 180 Wilkinson dividers and those of a rat-race divider known as an out of phase circuit are discussed. Key-Words: Wilkinson divi...

Frequency-selectable dual-band wilkinson divider/combiner

Reconfigurable optical power splitter/combiner based on Opto-VLSI processing.

A novel 1×4 reconfigurable optical splitter/combiner structure based on Opto-VLSI processor and 4-f imaging system with high resolution is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. By uploading optimized multicasting phase holograms onto the software-driven Opto-VLSI processor, an input optical signal is dynamically split into different output fiber ports with user-defined splitting ratios. Als...

Configurations of Splitter/Combiner Microstrip Sections Loaded with Stepped Impedance Resonators (SIRs) for Sensing Applications

In this paper, several configurations of splitter/combiner microstrip sections loaded with stepped impedance resonators (SIRs) are analyzed. Such structures are useful as sensors and comparators, and the main aim of the paper is to show that the proposed configurations are useful for the optimization of sensitivity and discrimination. Specifically, for comparison purposes, i.e., to determine an...

Experimental Verification of Lumped Element Circuit Synthesis Method for Class-F Microwave Amplifier Using InGaP/GaAs HBT

0 1 5 Frequency [GHz] 6 2 3 4 Abstract The validity of lumped element microwave class-F amplifier circuit design has been demonstrated experimentally. By means of the proposed class-F amplifier design method, more than 4th-order higher harmonic frequencies can be taken into account in class-F microwave amplifier design using only lumped element components. In this approach, miniaturization of c...
