Abstract

In this paper, a 3 leveled Broadband Wilkinson power divider is proposed. This power divider has superior performance in the X-band (8~12 GHz) and is smaller in size as compared to traditional power dividers. The simulation and experimental results show good insertion loss which is approximately-3 dB, good return loss that is less than -12 dB for the input port over the entire X-band and less than -16 dB for the other two ports. The power is divided equally between the output two ports and the isolation between the output ports is better than -11dB
