Abstract

AbstractLow loss and compact wideband filtering power dividers (WB‐FPDs) with/without notch band are proposed. The WB‐FPDs are designed using wideband bandpass filter based on asymmetric stepped‐impedance resonator (SIR). Parallel coupled microstrip lines are used to create both wideband filtering characteristic and two additional transmission poles. A notch band can be generated at upper passband edge by using open‐circuited stubs on the SIRs. The WB‐FPDs with/without notch band are successfully designed, fabricated, and tested. The wide passband is centered at 4 GHz with the fractional bandwidth (FBW) of 51.1%, while the notch band is at 5.56 GHz with the FBW of 3.1%. Good agreement between the simulated and measured results is observed.
