Abstract

A novel generalized coupled-line circuit structure for a dual-band Wilkinson power divider is proposed. The proposed power divider is composed of two coupled lines with different even- and odd-mode characteristic impedances and two lumped resistors. Using rigorous even- and odd-mode analysis, the analytical design equations for this proposed power divider are obtained and the ideal closed-form scattering parameters are constructed. Since the traditional transmission line is a special case of coupled line (coupled coefficient is zero), it is found that traditional noncoupled-line dual-band (including single band) Wilkinson power dividers and previous dual-band coupled-line power dividers are special cases of this generalized power divider. As a typical example, which could only be designed by using this given design equations, a compact microstrip 3-dB power divider operating at both 1.1 and 2.2 GHz is designed, fabricated, and measured. There is good agreement between calculated and measured results. © 2011 IEEE.
