Design of an Ultra-wideband Power Divider via the Coarse-grained Parallel Micro- Genetic Algorithm
نویسندگان
چکیده
An ultra-wideband (UWB) power divider is designed in this paper. The UWB performance of this power divider is obtained by using a tapered microstrip line that consists of exponential and elliptic sections. The coarse grained parallel micro-genetic algorithm (PMGA) and CST Microwave Studio are combined to achieve an automated parallel design process. The method is applied to optimize the UWB power divider. The optimized power divider is fabricated and measured. The measured results show relatively low insertion loss, good return loss, and high isolation between the output ports across the whole UWB (3.1–10.6 GHz).
