Abstract :
A Wilkinson power divider operating not only at one frequency f0, but also at its first harmonic 2f0 is presented. This power divider consists of two branches of impedance transformer, each of which consists of two sections of 1/6-wave transmission-line with different characteristic impedance. The two outputs are connected through a resistor, an inductor, and a capacitor. All the features of a conventional Wilkinson power divider, such as an equal power split, impedance matching at all ports, and a good isolation between the two output ports, can be fulfilled at f0 and 2f0, simultaneously.
