- Abstract
- In this paper, a N-way multi-frequency equal Wilkinson power divider (WPD) is proposed, implemented and analyzed. The proposed N-way power divider is based on microstrip line with 50 ohm characteristic impedance. The dividers are composed of multi-section transmission line and isolation resistors. They provide high isolation and very good input/output ports matching simultaneously at arbitrary design frequencies. The power divider geometry is analyzed using ADS simulator and the performance metrics such as insertion loss, return loss and isolation loss is computed. This study reports the successful implementation of microstrip line based 16-way Wilkinson power divider with low losses for a frequency range of 0 to 3 GHz with 1.5GHz centre frequency.
