Abstract :
A quad-band equal power divider has been designed by exploiting the multi-band operation of left-handed transmission lines. Unit cell design based on dispersion analysis is provided. A practical power divider that demonstrates equal power division at frequencies 0.47, 0.8, 1.85 and 3.35 GHz was designed and fabricated by implementing the left-handed cells in microstrip technology.
