Effect of Adding Input and Output Impedance Transformer on Wilkinson Power Dividers Performance
نویسندگان
چکیده
Even though the two-stage Wilkinson N-way power divider is simple to design, realize and test, It has been used with strict restrictions in design and fabrication because it requires a very high impedance microstrip line, i.e., extremely low aspect ratio W/H or very thin line conductor width. To overcome this limitation in realizable characteristic impedance a quarter-wave length impedance transformer section between two lines is used. This research investigates the effect of adding quarter-wave lines impedance transformation to twostage Wilkinson N-way power divider on the performance parameters.

Ultra Wideband Power Divider Using Tapered Line
A power divider with ultra-wideband (UWB) performance has been designed. The quarter-wave transformer in the conventional Wilkinson power divider is replaced by an exponentially tapered microstrip line. Since the tapered line provides a consistent impedance transformation across all frequencies, very low amplitude ripple of 0.2 dB peak-to-peak in the transmission coefficient and superior input ...

Wilkinson Power Dividers/Combiners The in-phase power combiners and dividers are important components of the RF and microwave transmitters when it is necessary to deliver a high level of the output power to antenna, especially in phased-array systems. In this case, it is also required to provide a high degree of isolation between output ports over some frequency range for identical in-phase sig...
