Abstract

This paper suggested a theoretical approach and an implementation for the design of an unequal Wilkinson power divider with a high dividing ratio operating at two-frequencies. The T-section transmission lines and the two-section of Monzon's theory are proposed to operate a dual-band application. To achieve the high dividing ratio divider, the high impedance line using a T-shaped structure and low impedance lines with periodic shunt open stubs are implemented. For the validation of this divider, a dual-band power divider with a high dividing ratio of 5 is simulated and measured at 1 GHz and 2 GHz. The measured performances of the divider are in good agreements with simulation results.

본 논문은 이중 대역에서 높은 분배 비율로 동작하는 비대칭 윌킨슨 전력 분배기의 설계에 대해 이론적인 접근 방법과 제작을 제안하였다. 비대칭 전력 분배기가 이중 대역에서 동작하도록 T-자형 전송선과 Monzon의 이론식을 이용하여 두 개의 직렬 마이크로 스트립라인을 구현하도록 제안하였고, 높은 분배비율을 가지는 분배기에서 높은 임피던스에서는 T-자형구조를 가지는 마이크로 스트립라인을 낮은 임피던스에서는 주기적 병렬 오픈 스터브를 사용하여 구현하였다. 이 분배기의 이론적 설계의 검증을 위해, 5:1의 비대칭 듀얼 밴드 전력 분배기를 1GHz와 2GHz에서 시뮬레이션을 하고 측정을 하였다. 이 측정 값 들은 시뮬레이션과 거의 동일함을 보였다.
