Optimum design of a modified 3-way Bagley rectangular power divider

Abstract

A novel 3-way rectangular power divider is proposed which is a modified version of the Bagley power divider. The method of least squares is developed for its design and optimization, which determines the lines ection len gths and widths. The design specifications are made on the desired values of sc attering parameters, which tend to minimize the input reflection coefficient and realize the desired power division ratios. The propose d divide r c onfiguration and the optimum design procedure tend to maximize the isolation among the outputs.
