A Novel Approach to the Design and Implementation of Dual-Band Power Divider

Abstract

This paper presents the design of a new Wilkinson power divider for dual-band application. The proposed circuit also features a simple structure with realistic impedance values, distributed design with reduced parasitic effect (in compared to lumped component), and exact solution (ideal characteristics). Closed-form design equations are derived using the even-and odd-mode formulation. For verification, the measured results of a microstrip power divider operating at 1 and 2 GHz is shown.
