Abstract :
In this paper, a compact and broadband Wilkinson power divider at 1-6GHz is presented. The device has been designed and fabricated based on optimized prototype circuit of lumped Wilkinson power divider, using the Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramics (LTCC) technology. By taking advantages of the three-dimensional layout capability of the LTCC substrate, the embedded lumped circuit elements of the proposed power divider are arranged vertically for size reduction, which features a compact size of 6mm×4.4 mm×1.3 mm.
