Abstract

This paper proposes the design of circular sector shaped power divider-combiner with a planar structure. This structure can be constructed in series, and due to the circular sector shape, it is possible to simplify circuit configuration and improve the amplitude and phase balanced characteristics of the output. It has a simple input matching circuit and an RC parallel circuit was inserted between the output ports to improve the reflection coefficient and isolation of the output. Since the designed divider-combiner are structurally designed in a symmetrical shape of a sector, even if the output ports are composed of two or four output ports, they have excellent characteristics with an amplitude balance of ± 0.1 dB and a phase balance of ± 1o between outputs. To prove these characteristics, it was confirmed that the characteristics of the planar power divider-combiner fabricated at an operating frequency of 2 GHz are in good agreement with the simulation.

본 논문은 평면형 구조를 갖는 원형 부채꼴 모양의 전력 분배기-결합기 설계에 대한 것이다. 이 구조는 직렬형으로 구성할 수 있으며 원형 부채꼴 모양으로 인하여 간단한 회로 구성과 출력의 크기와 위상 발란스 특성을 개선할 수 있으며, 이것은 단순한 입력 정합회로를 갖고 있으며 출력 포트 사이에 RC 병렬 회로를 삽입하여 출력의 반사계수와 고립도를 개선하였다. 설계된 분배기와 결합기는 구조적으로 부채꼴 모양의 대칭적으로 설계되었기 때문에 출력 포트를 2개 또는 4개로 구성하였을 때 출력 사이의 크기 발란스 ± 0.1 dB 와 위상 발란스 ± 1o를 갖는 우수한 특성을 갖고 있다. 이러한 전기적 특성을 확인하기 위해서 동작주파수 2 GHz에서 제작된 평면형 전력 분배기-결합기는 시뮬레이션과 특성이 잘 일치함을 확인하였다.
