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 pow...

Abstract—This paper presents analysis and design of a wideband Wilkinson power divider for wireless applications. The design is accomplished by transforming the lengths and impedances of the quarter wavelength sections of the conventional Wilkinson power divider into U-shaped sections. The designed power divider is simulated by using ADS Agilent technologies and CST microwave studio software. I...

─ A novel ultra-wideband (UWB) out-ofphase four-way power divider is presented. To achieve a division over a large frequency range, Tjunctions formed by slotlines and microstrip lines are utilized. Based on the transmission-line equivalent-circuit method, we derive the design equations of the proposed power divider. Furthermore, all measured results are in good agreement with the predicted desi...

DESIGN, ANALYSIS, AND CONSTRUCTION OF AN EQUAL SPLIT WILKINSON POWER DIVIDER Logan J. Berens, B.S. Marquette University, 2012 The Wilkinson power divider is a well known device in the RF/microwave community used for splitting or combining signals. It is composed of simple transmission lines and a resistor, and takes advantage of the properties of quarterwavelength transmission line sections to ...

Filter plays an important role in communication systems. It is an electronic device that allows signal in certain frequency ranges to go through. In other words, filter helps remove all the unwanted frequency components in a signal. Generally, there are four types of filters: lowpass filter, highpass filter, bandpass filter and bandstop filter. Two filters have been proposed in my project. The ...

We report a 72.8 GHz fully static frequency divider in AIInAs/InGaAs HBT IC technology. The CML divider operates with a 350 mV logic swing at less than OdBm input power up to a maximum clock rate of 63 GHz and requires 8.6 dBm of input power at the maximum clock rate of 72.8GHz. Power dissipation per flip-flop is 55mW with a 3.1V power supply. To our knowledge this is the highest frequency of o...

This paper proposes a multiway power divider for wideband (4:1) beamforming arrays. The divider’s input reflection characteristic (S11) is achieved using a multisection stepped-impedance transformer. Moreover, the divider’s isolation (S32) bandwidth is increased by incorporating inductors and capacitors in addition to the conventional resistor only isolation networks of the divider. The analysi...

Abstract—In this paper, a general design of an equal-split N-way power divider, similar to Bagley polygon power divider, but with an even number of output ports is proposed. A circular-shaped 4way divider is designed and simulated using two different full-wave simulators. Very good matching at the input port is achieved, and good transmission parameters are obtained. After that, the same circul...

An ultra-wideband unequal-split Wilkinson power divider with a 2:1 split ratio is presented. To achieve the ultra-wideband characteristics, the conventional quarter-wave arms of the divider are replaced by tapered lines. Moreover, two extra tapered transformers are incorporated at the output ports for matching purposes as the designed divider is of an unequal-split type. To obtain good isolatio...

This paper presents a low-area nite eld divider using dual basis representation. This divider is based on the division algorithm of solving Discrete Wiener-Hopf Equation using Gauss-Jordan elimination method. The hardware complexity of the matrix generation part has been reduced dramatically form O(m) to O(m). When it is used as a building block for a large system, this divider can achieve more...
