The FDTD(Finite-Difference Time-Domain) method is applied to analyze an unequal Wilkinson power divider. Unequal Wilkinson power divider has complex structures and the standard Yee Cell modeling method is not appropriate. In this paper, nonuniform gridding and subcell modeling are used to accurately analyze the characteristics of an unequal Wilkinson power divider. For comparison, the numerical results are presented with those from a commercial circuit simulator.

Recently, wireless communication systems have been developed and the circuits which operate with the broad-band for multiband uses were introduced. However, broad-band circuits have problems that inevitably increase the size. Dual-band circuit operates only two frequency, therefore, it will be able to miniaturize through unnecessary decreased elements. The Wilkinson power divider is the one of the most commonly used components in wireless communication system for power division. Nowaday, the Wilkinson power divider is also demanded dual-band. In this paper, I propose miniaturized dual-band Wilkinson power divider operating at 2.45 GHz and 5.2 GHz for IEEE 802.11n standard. Proposed dual-band Wilkinson power divider is used in parallel stub line. The design is accomplished by transforming the electrical length and impedance of the quarter wave sections of the conventional Wilkinson power divider into dual band ${\pi}$-shaped sections.

A compact Wilkinson power divider with meta-material transmission line(MM-TL) is proposed. The divider is designed by adding the MM-TL with $+90^{\circ}$ phases shifting instead of the ${\lambda}_g/4$ with $-90^{\circ}$ phases shifting at a simple Wilkinson power divider. The MM-TL consists of three phase shifter unit cells and each cell has the characteristics of the $30^{\circ}$ phases shilling and 6 mm length. Therefore, the length of ${\lambda}_g/4(210 mm)$ TL with $-90^{\circ}$ phases shifting at a simple Wilkinson power divider can be reduced to 18 mm and the Wilkinson divider is very compact.

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.

Electrical characteristics of two types of 20 GHz Push-Push GaAs MESFET dielectric resonator oscillators having Wilkinson and T-junction power combiners for the output stage have been investigated and compared. So we have explained that the output power and phase noise properties of the Push-push FET DRO are depending on return loss and isolation characteristics of power combiner at the fundamental and the second harmonic frequencies. A Push-push oscillator for suppressing the fundamental frequency of 10 GHz and enhancing the second harmonic of 20 GHz has been designed and fabricated in microstrip configuration on 20 mil thick RT-Duroid($\varepsilon$$_{r}$ = 2.52) Teflon substrate. Return loss and isolation characteristics of T-junction and Wilkinson have been measured at the fundamental frequency of 10.2 GHz and the second harmonic frequency of 20.5 GHz. At the fundamental frequency, -12 dB return loss and -3.7 dB isolation have been measured for the T-junction power combiner, and -14 dB return loss and -11 dB isolation fur the Wilkinson power combiner. At the second harmonic frequency, -10 dB return loss and -7.5 dB isolation have been obtained for the T-junction power combiner, and -23 dB return loss and -22 dB isolation for the Wilkinson power combiner. As a result, we have confirmed that the oscillator based on the Wilkinson power combiner with better retrun loss and isolation characteristics produces more output power and better phase noise characteristics..

A new structure of the Wilkinson power divider that can suppress multiple harmonics output is presented The power divider consists of T-type or $\pi$-type capacitive loads and shunt resistors. Experimental results show that this power divider suppresses the second and the third harmonic components to less than -38dB, while maintaining the characteristics of a conventional Wilkinson power divider, featuring an equal power split, a simultaneous impedance matching at all ports and a good isolation between output ports.

A modified design that can reject the nth harmonic components in the Wilkinson power divider is presented. After adding transmission lines of electrical lengths determined by suppression terms between two transformers of the traditional design, a solution of the modified Wilkinson divider can be found. Experimental results show the second and third harmonic suppression to be -45.3 dB and -46.4 dB, respectively, while maintaining the conventional performance at the fundamental frequency.

This paper presents a structure of the Wilkinson power divider that can suppress the 9ea harmonic output. The power divider consists of ${\lambda}/4n$ open stubs, which are located at the $3{\lambda}/4$ branches and parallel connection of resistor which shunts the output ports. Experimental results show that this power divider suppresses from 1st to 9th harmonic components to less than -37dB, while maintaining the characteristics of a conventional Wilkinson power divider; featuring an equal power split, a simultaneous impedance matching at all ports and a good isolation between output ports. these results agree quite well with the simulation results.

In this paper, a size-reduced Wilkinson balun with wide harmonic-suppressed band is presented. An accurate analysis of the parallel coupled line with an open stub (PCL-OS) is carried out. The PCL-OS structure shows excellent low pass filter and harmonic-suppression characteristics, which is useful for designing a low pass filter unit cell (LUC) with a reduced size. The designed Wilkinson balun at a 2.45 GHz center frequency not only shows an excellent harmonic suppression including the 5th harmonics up to 14 GHz over 15 dB, but it also has an area reduced to 48% of the conventional one.
