Design of a microwave power equalizer

Abstract

In this paper, a microstrip power equalizer based on branch resonator loaded resistor is presented. According to the curved shape's similarity between equalizers and resonators, this paper prove the valid to use multi-resonators. On the basis of this, it introduces a feasible method of broad-band equalizer. It's adopted several branch resonators loaded resistor. The proposed equalizer operated from 6GHz to 18GHz was designed. The simulate result proved the availability of this structure. At the end, a power equalizer was fabricated. The measured results and the simulation results show a good agreement.
