In this paper, planar power dividers/combiners for millimeter waves K-band or bands which can be printed on the substrates of hybrid or monolithic IC by surface mounting are designed and studied. Power dividers/combiners, and the conductor loss of microstrip lines in particualr the existing Wilkinson power dividers/combiners is modified ad amployes by ist equivalent circuit. Microwave CAD program SUPEROMPACT is employed for the Wilkinson power combiner which is modified and analyzed to reduce the high frequency coupling between the branches of the combiner, and the method to diminish the sensitivity of the input reflection of $2^n$-way power dividers/combiners is studied employing the commerical microwave CAD program package SUPERCOMPACT.

This paper describe the design and fabrication of a SMD type Wilkinson power divider for PCS basestation. It has been designed for commercial power amplifier system by HP-ADS and fabricated with the size 0.56 $\times$ 0.35 inches.

A wideband correlator, with 45% relative bandwidth is proposed at the frequency range of 3.1-5.1GHz. The structures of the correlator components such as the delay line and the Wilkinson power divider are designed to be realized in transmission line form using the Agilent's Advanced Design System (ADS). The correlator made by using three unique wideband 3-dB couplers, rat-race coupler and one 3-dB wilkinson power divider to reach the required bandwidth. The insertion loss, amplitude imbalance and phase imbalance between ports are presented. The proposed correlator makes compact size better than correlator of conventional structure.

A novel balun being the structure of a Wilkinson power divider is suggested and fabricated. One of the power dividing paths in the suggested balun uses a conventional ${\lambda}/4$ transmission line for $-90^{\circ}$ phase shifting, and the other path uses a composite right/left-handed -${\lambda}/4$ transmission line for $+90^{\circ}$ phase shifting with four series capacitors and three parallel inductors. In addition, the suggested balun uses two $50-{\Omega}$ resistors and a conventional $50-{\Omega}$ transmission line of ${\lambda}/2$ electrical length between the two output ports, achieving good isolation and reflection values of two balanced ports. The suggested balun is simulated by the advanced design system simulation program and fabricated on TLX-9 20-mil substrate. The fabricated balun has a very good values of $S_{11}$ = -27.46 dB, $S_{21}$ = -3.40 dB, and $S_{31}$ = -3.28 dB, a phase difference of $-179.5^{\circ}$, a magnitude difference of 0.12 dB, and a delay difference of 0.1 ns, with $S_{22}$ = -36.28 dB, $S_{33}$ = -27.19 dB, and $S_{32}$ = -25.2 dB at 1 GHz, respectively.

We analyze the capacity of CDMA base stations in the subway environment. We investigate the characteristics of multipath fading, cell structures, and propagation environment in the subway, analyze signal to noise ratio, sectorization gain, path-loss exponent, frequency reuse factor, and obtain the link capacity of a base station in the subway. We measure the peakedness factor and reveal that base stations in the subway have peaked traffic. We use Neal-Wilkinson model to obtain the Erlang capacity instead of Erlang-B model based on Poisson traffic.

This study presents the design of a Wilkinson power divider for three-way output ports (WPD3OP), which incorporates a defected ground structure (DGS). An asymmetric power divider is integrated into the output ports of the conventional Wilkinson power divider (WPD), establishing a three-way output port configuration. The DGS introduces periodic or irregular patterns into the ground plane to suppress unwanted electromagnetic wave propagation, and its incorporation can enhance the performance of the power divider, in terms of the power-division ratio, isolation, and bandwidth, by reducing spurious resonances. The proposed design algorithm for an asymmetric power divider for three-way output ports is analyzed via circuit simulations using High-Frequency Simulation Software (HFSS). The results verify the validity of the proposed method. The analysis of the WPD3OP integrated with DGS certifies the achievement of a center frequency of 2 GHz. This confirmation is supported by schematic ideal design simulation results and measurements encompassing insertion losses, return losses, and isolation.

A RF microstrip balun having low transmission loss for the balanced receiving dipole antenna is designed and fabricated using a three-section Wilkinson divider and two 3-dB quadrature couplers. It considers two types of the three-section Wilkinson dividers, the Cohn's optimum three-section structure and the miniaturized three-section structure, for wideband power splitting. Also, two 3-dB quadrature couplers for 180 degrees of phase difference adopt a twist-wire coaxial cable. The fabricated first balun having the Cohn's optimum three-section Wilkinson divider has 0.5 dB of transmission loss, $\pm$0.2 dB of amplitude imbalance, and 180$\pm$2.3 degrees of phase imbalance over 400 to 1000 MHz by measurement. The second one using the miniaturized three-section Wilkinson divider shows 1.0 dB of transmission loss, $\pm$0.7 dB of amplitude imbalance, and 180$\pm$8.8 degrees of phase imbalance over the same frequency band.

The broadband high power 3-way combiner was designed and fabricated for the digital TV repeater. To achieve increase of the bandwidth and the high power capability, Wilkinson type power divider was adopted in our research. First of all, Wilkinson type power divider of equal-split and unequal-split were combined, and the characteristics of the four port in-phase power combiner was simulated for each thickness of dielectric substrates. As the results of simulation, the power combiner fabricated by using dielectric substrate of 120 mil-thickness has the characteristics as follows: insertion loss of less than -651 dB, reflection coefficient of less than -13 dB, isolation among the output ports of less than -15 dB, and pose difference among the output ports of smiler than 13$^{\circ}$. Therefore, this power combiner was possible to improve the limit of microstrip line width due to high impedance, the problem of power loss due to interaction between strip lines in a high power combiner and narrow bandwidth simultaneously. Furthermore, making broadband and high power could be achieved since the fabricated 3-way combiner has good characteristics of insertion loss, the reflection coefficient, separation between ports, and phase difference.

The broadband Power Splitters and Tap-Offs are needed to transmit a number of channels of signals with the high quality of signals. In this paper the design theories and analysis of the theoretical frequency characteristics of the Wilkinson's Power Splitters and Tap-Offs are reviewed. Then it has been showned that the theoretical frequency characteristics of the proposed compensated Wilkinson's Power Splitter and Tap-Off are improved much in comparison with the prototype wikinson's Power Splitter and conventional weakely-coupled Tap-Off. Furthermore the measured results of frequency characteristics for the fabricated circuits show agreement with the theoretical results and hence the validity of the proposed design and analysis methods has been confirmed.
