A Novel Three-Port Power Divider with Compensation Networks for Non-Ideal Isolation Resistor

This paper describes a three-port power divider with compensation networks for non-ideal isolation resistor. The compensation networks consist of two additional lines and cancel out the parasitic reactance of the non-ideal isolation resistor. The design method to provide perfect return loss and isolation at the center frequency are presented. The availability of the proposed power divider has been verified by the comparison between calculated and experimental results in the Ku-band.
