DESIGN OF A NOVEL COMPACT POWER DIVIDER WITH HARMONIC SUPPRESSION

Abstract

Abstract—This paper presents a novel compact power divider with third harmonic suppression and also can provide a direct current (dc) path which could simplify the other active circuits in the complicated phased array antenna system. The proposed power divider achieves 20% size reduction compared with the conventional Wilkinson power divider. From the measured results, it can be seen that the simulated results can guide the practical circuit very well.
