Abstract :
A miniature dual-band 3-way metamaterial power divider with the three identical output phase is presented. Firstly, fully printed CRLH(composite right and left-handed) 2:1-unequal and 1:1-equal power dividers are designed for 900-MHz and 2.4-GHz bands. Secondly, an initial 1:1:1 power divider is formed by combining the input of the 2-way equal block into an output of the unequal block, and trimming the interconnection parameters. Thirdly, to have the same phase at the three outputs of the power divider, a CRLH phase-compensating line is designed to treat the different phase errors at the 2 frequencies.
