This Technical Memo(TM) was written for the purpose of determining the type of UHF-band power divider which is applicable to KSLV-1. For this, some different kinds of power divider are compared with there types and characteristics. And then, we select three types of power divider(which is Wilkinson power divider, Quadrature hybrid divider and Ring hybrid divider) and perform Schematic and Momentum simulation for finding the optimized characteristics. With this results, in order to demonstrate the selected power divider, we manufactured UHF-band power dividers using FR-4 epoxy plate. By the measured results, we obtain the similar results compare with simulation and fabrication. And Quadrature hybrid power divider is suitable to application to KSLV-1.

The proposed variable pawer divider in this paper is composed of one equal power 2-way Wilkinson power divider, two variable phase shifters with 90-degree phase variation to be connected two output paths of the 2-way power divider, and one branchline coupler to combine output signals of two variable phase shifter. The proposed variable power divider can theoretically have an arbitrary power division ratio ranging from ${\infty}:1$ to ${\infty}:1$ due to 90-degrees phase variation of two phase shifter. The proposed power divider circuit fabricates on laminated TLX-9(h=20 mil, er=2.5; Taconic) with a center frequency of 1.7 GHz. The power division ratio of the fabricated prototype varies from about 1:100 to 200:1, with an input reflection characteristic(S11) of below -16 dB, an insertion loss of about -1.0 dB, and an isolation characteristic of below -17 dB between two output ports in the range 1.65-1.75 GHz.

본 논문에서는 전력 분배비를 변화시킬 수 있는 전력 분배기/합성기를 설계하였다. 전력 분배기/합성기의 ${\lambda}/4$ 전송선로 특성 임피던스를 결합선로 또는 하이브리드로 변환하여 설계하였다. 결합 선로나 하이브리드의 결합포트와 격리포트를 동시에 On/Off시킴으로써 변화하는 임피던스를 이용하여 전력 분배비가 1:1에서 1:0으로 즉 전력이 두개의 포트에 같은 크기로 전달되다가 모든 입력이 하나의 출력포트로 모두 전달되는 전력 분배기를 설계하였다.

일반적으로 마이크로 웨이브 영역에 사용되는 마이크로스트립 전송로는 후막 전도 선을 이용하여 RF 모듈을 구현할수 있으나 선폭의 고해상도가 전체 특성에 큰 영향을 미치 므로 고정도의 박막을 이용한 RF 모듈이 많이 개발되고 있다. 따라서 본 논고에서는 박막 제조기술을 이용하여 마이크로 웨이브 하이브리드의 한 종류인 WILKINSON 전력 분배기 를 개발하였고 공정 변수를 최적화함으로써 고특성 고신회성의 전력 분배기를 구현할 수 있 었다. 먼저 전도선의 두께의 영향을 고찰하였으며 제조 공정에 있어 GROUND 방법 /HOUSING 형상을 개선함으로써 용이하게 전력 분배기를 제조하였다. 마지막으로 MIL 규 격에 따른 전력분배기의 신뢰성 시험 항목을 제시하였고 이에 따라 정격 전력을 계산, 측정 하였다.

This paper introduces a new variable power divider circuit with an arbitrary power division ratio ranging from $1:{\infty}$ to ${\infty}:1$. The proposed power divider circuit consists of one branch-line coupler to be a good input matching characteristic, two variable phase shifters with 90-degree phase variation to be connected two output paths of the branch-line coupler, and one ring-hybrid coupler to combine output signals of two variable phase shifter. The power division ratio between the two output ports of the proposed power divider can be easily controlled by the phase variation of the two phase shifter. The proposed power divider circuit fabricates on laminated RF-35 (h = 20 mil, er=3.5; Taconic) with a center frequency of 2 GHz. The power division ratio of the fabricated prototype varies from about 1:1000 to 5000000:1, with an input reflection characteristic(S11) of below -20 dB, an insertion loss of about -1.0 dB, and an isolation characteristic of below -17 dB between two output ports in the range 1.9-2.1 GHz.

A coaxial-cable impedance transformer that can be used in high power and wideband frequency range is an arbitrary impedance transformation ratio by an additional coaxial cable. The coaxial-cable impedance transformer to be 50-${\Omega}$ to 25-${\Omega}$ impedance transformation ratio is easily operated an wideband power divider by connecting two 50-${\Omega}$ lines at 25-${\Omega}$ impedance point. This wideband power divider has a poor output matching characteristic and a poor isolation characteristic between two output ports. In this paper, it proposes a coaxial-cable power divider to be a good output matching and isolation characteristics as it uses the singly terminated filter design theory. The odd-mode operation characteristic of the suggested power divider to use singly terminated low pass filter coefficient due to matching order and ripple value is examined by ADS program. And, it fabricates and measures the operation characteristic of 2-way power divider with 2nd-order and 4th-order matching circuit.

In this paper, we present the 8 port in-phase power divider using right/left-handed transmission line. The proposed power divider splits the input power into 8 port regardless of the electrical length of transmission lines. Its size is much smaller than the conventional one. As the length of the transmission line in the power divider decreases, its bandwidth becomes wider.

In this paper, a high-power 20-way stripline power divider with low insertion loss and low side lobe level is successfully designed, fabricated and measured as a feed network for an S-band linear array antenna having Dolph-Chebyshev current distribution which has a narrow beam width and very low side lobe level (SLL). The 20-way stripline power divider consists of an 8-way power divider, three 4-way power dividers and three ring hybrids. It utilizes a T-junction structure as a basic element for power dividing. Notches and modified input/output N-to-stripline transitions are used for improving insertion loss and return loss. The fabricated power divider shows insertion loss less than 0.3 ㏈ and rms phase mismatch less than 8o in the full bandwidth. A final 40-way power divider is synthesized by combining symmetrically two 20-way power dividers and is expected to have SLL over 40 dB, based on the measured results of the 20-way power divider.

In this paper, N-way resistance power divider is described for wideband frequency characteristic. For this, we derived in design equation of a N-way resistance power divider using 3-way resistance power divider. We designed 8-way resistance power divider that can divide same power by 7 output and measurement result of fabricated resistance power divider is observed to prove the validity of derived design equation. Fabricated resistance power divider shown equal power division ratio and reflection loss displayed excellent characteristic by about -25dB in broadband from DC to 3GHz.

In this work, using a ${\pi}$-type multiple coupled microstrip line structure (MCMLS) and RCR (Resistor Capacitor Resistor) structure, we fabricated ultra-compact and high isolation Wilkinson power divider on GaAs MMIC (Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit). The line length of the Wilkinson power divider was reduced to about ${\lambda}$/46, and its size was 0.304 [$mm^2$], which is 12.1 % of conventional one. Compared with conventional Wilkinson power divider, isolation characteristic of the proposed Wilkinson power divider was highly improved by using RCR insertion method. The proposed Wilkinson power divider showed good RF performances in C/X band.
