Abstract :
A low-loss miniature microstrip four-way traveling-wave divider/combiner (TWD/C) that incorporates the package effects in the circuit design, i.e. the microstrip transmission line impedances partially include the package wall as a ground plane, is presented. The TWD/C was designed using a full-wave electromagnetic simulator. It has less than a 0.3-dB insertion loss and a 1.6:1 VSWR at all ports over a 6-GHz bandwidth.<>
