This paper propose a new taegeuk shaped directional couper and verify the possibility of high power division rate in those directional coupler through the experiments. We took the taegeuk shaped structure in those proposed directional coupler to utilize a $3\lambda/4$ section of hybrid ring directional coupler actively, and calculated the branch admittances, which satisfied the condition of perfect matching and isolation in the center frequency, by even odd mode analyzing methodes. On the result, we knew that it can be realized a much higher power division rate than reported result in same circuit area within the producible resistance limit in the microstrip line, made the taegeuk shaped directional couplers with 0, 8, 16 dB power split ratio in the 10 GHz frequency using CGP - 502 plate, and confirmed the validity of theory through the experiments.

In this paper, we propose a substrate integrated waveguide(SIW) power divider to yield excellent broadband isolation performance. In order to achieve high broadband isolation, a two stage Wilkinson power divider is employed in SIW. The measurement results show the insertion loss($S_{21}$, $S_{31}$ to be $4.0{\pm}0.5$ dB) and input return loss($S_{11}$ of 10 dB) from 13.12 GHz to 16.14 GHz. Moreover, the results show that the output return loss and isolation between output ports are larger than 10 dB between 10.37 GHz and 17.64 GHz.

This paper proposes a modified Wilkinson power divider using a zero-degree composit right/left-handed(CRLH) transmission line to obtain a isolation between ports. A zero-degree CRLH transmission line, which has a total electrical length of zero, consists of a RH(Right-Handed) transmission line of a negative phase characteristic and a LH (Left-Handed) transmission line of a positive phase characteristic. To validate a value of zero-degree CRLH transmission line, the electrical lengths of RH and LH transmission line select $-30^{\circ}$ and $+30^{\circ}$ and a 2-way Wilkinson divider designed, we are measured S21 of -3.3dB, S11 of -27.5dB and S23 of -25dB at 1GHz center frequency. These characteristics are same the conventional divider using RH transmission line.

In this paper, we studied the design of power divider using the slow-wave effect of Photonic Bandgap structure, which is etched on the ground plane. The proposed PBG structure can provides the changing of the characteristic impedance of the transmission line and the group delay velocity characteristic. Therefore we can make wider width than the width of conventional transmission line and decrease the length of transmission line. We presented the application for power divider using the characteristic impedance and electrical length extracted from scattering parameter. As adding proposed defect units, the effect of defect is studied. The experimental results show good agreements with the simulated results.

In this paper, we have designed and fabricated a new type power divider to be efficient to a size and electrical performance by folding each quarter-wavelength 70.7 Ω section into a tightly-coupled "meander-line" and inserting a slit. In this type, because of coupling, the electrical phase of quarter -wavelength line and the performance change. For this reason, with the inductive slit and the tuning of quarter-wavelength line length, we have compensated for those. The inductance value of the inserted slit is decided by its width and depth, therefore, we could improve the electrical performance through optimization of inductance. Input and output return losses of the designed power divider were -34.2 dB, -34.3 dB respectively, and isolation was -36.7 dB at 1.75 GHz. Besides, a new design approach reduced occupied substrate area by 3:1 approximately.

In this paper, a high-power and low-loss stripline 10-way power divider is designed and fabricated fur the feed network of an S-band linear array antenna with Chebyshev current distribution which has a narrow beam width and low side lobe level(SLL) of 35 dB or more. The unit cell of the power divider is based on a T-junction power divider and the whole divider is comprised of the cascaded unit cells. The multi-stage impedance transformer and modified ring hybrid are used in designing the power divider for performance improvement. And the reflection loss and insertion loss are improved by modifying a connector structure for a coaxial-to-stripline transition.

In this paper, a 2~18 GHz wideband 6-port network is designed and fabricated to extend the measurement frequency bandwidth of noise parameter measurement method using 6-port network. In order to design a broadband 6-port network, a wilkinson power divider and a directional coupler with wideband characteristics are designed. The wilkinson power divider is designed as a three-section structure to achieve wideband characteristics. The direction coupler is designed as a three-section structure and slot-coupled structure using multi-layer substrate to obtain wideband characteristics. A wideband 6-port network is designed and fabricated combining the designed power divider and coupler. The measured results of the fabricated 6-port network for the 2~18 GHz band show characteristics applicable to the noise parameter measurement method.

This paper describes a size-reduced Wilkinson power divider using substrate integrated artificial dielectric(SIAD). SIAD transmission lines have increased effective refractive index, so the line width and length are reduced from those of standard transmission lines. Therefore the "size-reduction effect" is achieved if SIAD lines are applied to high frequency circuits. An efficient simulation method is proposed for SIAD lines which have an enormous number of via-holes. A 2GHz Wilkinson power divider is designed and measured using SIAD transmission line as an example of application. The size of the fabricated divider is reduced by 32% due to the increased effective refractive index of SIAD, while the performances are maintained similarly.

In this paper, tapered shape of multiport power divider/combiner modified for 2 GHz range from the model published by [10] is proposed. Parameters determining electrical property of the circuit structure have been analyzed by HFSS simulation. For input matching, balance of output signals and phase linearity at each output port, one circular hole has been etched out on the circuit surface. 1:2 and 1:3 power dividers/combiners designed by this study have been compared with the same circuits designed by the method of [10] in terms of S-parameters. As a result, it has been found that the modified structure of power divider/combiner have improved return loss more than 20 dB and another 18 dB, respectively, at 2 GHz.
