Abstract
An experimental investigation of a novel compact Wilkinson power divider incorporating a 1-D PBG slow-wave structure, in the form of perforation on the curved microstrip line itself, is presented. The size of the power divider is reduced by 22% due to the slow-wave effect. The inclusion of the PBG cells does not generate additional insertion loss when compared to the conventional design. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett.
