Compact UWB power divider with unequal distribution ratio

Abstract

A compact ultra-wideband (UWB) power divider with unequal distribution ratio is proposed in this paper. The UWB power divider is based on the conventional unequal Wilkinson power divider with two folded shunt quarter-wavelength short-circuited stubs separated by quarter-wavelength connecting lines at each output ports. The unequal distribution ratio is achieved by adjusting impedance ratio of two output ports. In addition, a single resistor is properly placed between two output ports for improving isolation. Finally, the simulated results are presented, which are in good agreement with the measured ones.
