In order to accurately measure the high voltage of 22.9[kV] power distribution lines we investigated the temperature dependence of measuring voltage on the number of stack layers in the voltage measurement system made from single and stack voltage divider capacitors (22, 44, 66 layers, respectively). Temperature coefficient of dielectric constant(TC$\varepsilon_{{\gamma}}$/)of voltage divider capacitors which were fabricated by BaTi $O_3$system ceramics showed the variations from -2.28% to +1.69% in the range of -25[$^{\circ}C$] ~50[$^{\circ}C$]) was decreased with increasing of stack number and the stack element of 66 layers showed the least error of $\pm$0.87%or of $\pm$0.87%.

A 120 GHz voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) with a divider chain including an injection locked frequency divider (ILFD) and six static frequency dividers is demonstrated using 65-nm CMOS technology. The VCO is designed based on the LC cross-coupled push-push structure and operates around 120 GHz. The 60 GHz ILFD at the first stage of the frequency divider chain is based on a similar topology as the core of the VCO to ensure the frequency alignment between the two circuit blocks. The static divider chain is composed of D-flip flops, providing a 64 division ratio. The entire circuit consumes a DC power of 68.5 mW with the chip size of $1385{\times}835{\mu}m^2$.

A 1:6 Unequal 2-way Wilkinson power divider is proposed. The required microstrip line with $207{\Omega}$ characteristic impedance for 1:6 power divider is realized by adding defected ground structure (DGS) to the standard microstrip line. The adopted DGS has the rectangular geometry which results in the increased characteristic impedance. The rectangular-shaped DGS produces the transmission line having much higher characteristic impedance due to the increased equivalent inductance. The measured performances of the fabricated 1:6 power divider show the expected S-parameters with a good agreement with the predicted ones.

In this paper, two configurations (T-type and Y-type) of dual band Wilkinson Power Divider based upon Hilbert curves are presented. Formerly, the concept of Hilbert Curves was implemented in only designing microstrip antennas. In power dividers, this is the very first attempt of incorporating them for size reduction. In addition to this, an effect of inculcation of high-dielectric constant layer (Hafnium-oxide, HfO₂, ε_r= 25) between a substrate and top metallization in both configurations was investigated. The proposed configurations are designed on a high resistive silicon substrate (HRS) for L and S bands with resonating frequencies of 1.575 and 3.4 GHz. Both configurations have return loss that is better than 20 dB and an insertion loss of around 6 dB; isolation better than 30 dB was achieved for both models.

In this paper, a planar equi-phase power divider is proposed using fixed phase shifters. As the integrability of a phased array antenna increases for accurate beam steering, a conventional method to excite equi-phase signals to all element antennas, extending the feedline, has spatial limitations. Therefore, the planar equi-phase power divider is designed using a defected ground structure with a planar phase shift function without intentional feedline extension. The defected ground structure has been considered for a low insertion loss and a controllable phase shift, whereas the power divider has been designed and implemented with a port-to-port isolation and a planar configuration.

Enhanced bandwidths of the GPS microstrip patch antennas applied by a Wilkinson power divider and a quadrature hybrid were compared. The square patch was designed, and fed by the two port probes for the circuit application. The Wilkinson power divider and quadrature hybrid circuit were designed, and applied to the patch antenna. The designed patch and two circuits were implemented on the FR4 board, and combined together. The measurement of the bandwidth within a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of 2: 1 were 36.5% (1,200~1,775 MHz) in the case of the Wilkinson power divider and 29.84% (1,230~1,700 MHz) in the case of the quadrature hybrid. Axial ratios (AR) in 3dB were 17.14% bandwidth (1,360~1,630 MHz) and 15.87% bandwidth (1,400~1,650 MHz), respectively. The application of the Wilkinson power divider is wider than that of the quadrature hybrid. The peak gains in the anechoic chamber at the GPS center frequency were measured as 2.84 dBi and 2.75 dBi, respectively.

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 presents an equal 3-way planar-type power divider. In conventional 3-way Wilkinson dividers, it has been difficult to realize the circuit because of the crossover of isolation resistors. In the proposed divider, the isolation resistors can be easily attached to the planar structure of the divider. In addition, no phase difference is observed at output ports without extra line compensation because of its symmetric structure. The fabricated 3-way divider has a greatly improved bandwidth by 160 % in $S_{11}$, 22.4 dB, min of isolation, and in phase characteristics between output ports at 2.4 GHz of center frequency from measurement.

In this paper, a dual-band integer-N frequency divider is proposed for 2.4/5.2 GHz multi-standard wireless local area networks. It consists of a multi-modulus imbalance phase switching prescaler and two all-stage programmable counters. It is able to provide dual-band operation with high resolution while maintaining a low power consumption. This frequency divider is integrated with a 5 GHz VCO for multi-standard applications. Measurement results show that the VCO with frequency divider can work at 5.2 GHz with a total power consumption of 22 mW.
