A Wideband Microwave Power Divider/Combiner with Multiple-Port Double-Ladder Structure

Abstract

We propose a new microwave power divider/combiner with multiple-port doubleladder structure for use in high power solid-state power amplifiers. Numerical and experimental analysis werc carried out at S-band, and the results of the divider/comhiner indicated low insertion loss and wide band characteristics in good accordance with the theory.
