Design and analysis of various Wilkinson Power Divider Networks for L band applications

摘要

Different Wilkinson Power Divider Networks using stepped multiple sections of the conventional Wilkinson Divider are presented in this paper. The operating frequency range has been chosen as 1.25 GHz to 1.45 GHz. As, the chosen frequency range lies in the L band, these power dividers can be used as feeding network for antenna arrays operated in the L band. We have fabricated and tested the 2:1, 4:1, 8:1 and 16:1 Wilkinson Power Divider Networks to validate all their simulation results. All these structures have been designed and simulated in CST MWS.
