Unequal LC-Ladder Divider with Broad/Dual-Band Characteristics Utilizing Two-Frequency Matching

Abstract

This paper deals with an unequal power divider with two matching frequencies by using LC-ladder circuits. This circuit that is constructed based on the Wilkinson power divider, consists of 9 elements. This circuit can achieve the same or wider bandwidth as the original one by holding the two matching frequencies close together. In order to confirm the practicality in IoT, the design center frequency is set to 920 MHz, and its actual measurement is carried out after circuit pattern design and analysis.
