A Wideband Compact Parallel-Strip 180 Wilkinson Power Divider for Push–Pull Circuitries
نویسنده
چکیده
A Wilkinson power divider with a differential output implemented in parallel-strip-line (PSL) is proposed. Taking full advantages of the PSL technology and a three-stage cascaded design, more than 170% impedance and isolation bandwidths are obtained. Inherent to the PSL structure, the 180 differential output is frequency-independent. A class-B push–pull power amplifier employing the devised concept is designed, showing a peak efficiency of 44% over a 4-GHz bandwidth. Without exploiting any extra and external low-pass filters, the proposed design can produce startling second-harmonic suppressions (more than 50 dB) over the whole working dynamics and operated bandwidth.
