Contour-integral analysis of microstrip sectorial power divider (with arbitrary sector angle)

The contour-integral procedure is used to analyse the microstrip sectorial n-way power divider. The principal advantage of the present approach is that the resulting model is able to handle arbitrary sector angles, in contrast to the Green´s function approach used by other researchers, which is valid only if the sector angle is a submultiple of π. Computational and experimental tests indicate that numerical accuracies of better than ±1% are obtainable from the present model
