An approach to 1-to-3 way microstrip balanced-to-balanced power divider/combiner

摘要

In this paper, an approach to 1-to-3way microstrip balanced power divider is proposed for the first time. This approach is realized by microstrip. The equal 1-to-3way differential-mode power dividing and common-mode suppression can be ensured by two resistors. The analysis of the1-to-3way microstrip balanced d power divider is realized by combining the standard S-parameters, the mixed mode S-parameters, and the odd- and even-mode equivalent circuits. To verify the theoretical prediction, a prototype is fabricated and measured. The theoretical, simulated and measured results all show a good mixed-mode performance.
