Abstract

Miniaturization and Harmonic Suppression of Power Divider using Coupled Line Section for High Power Applications

Highlights

  • Power dividers (PDs) are essential components in the fields of RF/microwave communication systems

  • Out of the various PDs, Wilkinson power divider (WPD) is one of the most commonly used PD due to simple structure, good impedance matching at the input and output ports, and isolation properties

  • This drawback of WPD is overcome by Gysel power divider GPD [4], which consists of four quarters and one-half wavelength transmission line sections and two resistors

Summary

Introduction

Power dividers (PDs) are essential components in the fields of RF/microwave communication systems. The WPDs are not capable of handling high microwave power due to a single isolation resistor connected between output ports. Its application is limited to low power applications This drawback of WPD is overcome by Gysel power divider GPD [4], which consists of four quarters and one-half wavelength transmission line sections and two resistors. In [9], the composite right/left hand (CRLH) transmission line (TL) is utilized to reduce the size of GPD, but it is not able to suppress the harmonics. In [10], the transmission line section of GPD is replaced by a filter (low pass filter, LPF) circuit in order to reduce circuit size and suppress the spurious response. 2nd order harmonic is well suppressed with an attenuation level –20 dB
