Coplanar power splitter analysis for the miniaturization of instantaneous frequency measurement subsystems

Based on design equations taken from the conformal mapping theory, the authors have investigated the frequency response of a miniaturized coplanar power splitter for instantaneous frequency measurement subsystems application. Devices in different scales are fabricated and measured. The results of insertion loss through both arms of each structure are presented and compared. The devices were made on both RT/duroid 6010 and glass fibber by the silk screen technique.
