Abstract :
This paper presents a novel 3-way microwave power divider design with harmonic suppression. Explicit closed-form expressions are derived based upon even- and odd- mode analysis for parameter evaluation. The proposed circuit features compact size, flexible layout and enhanced spurious attenuation. For demonstration, the simulated and experimental results of a 1 GHz power divider implemented on microstrip are given.
