Abstract :
A circuit topology has been developed to realize power dividers with bandwidths of 2.5:1 or greater on MMIC (monolithic microwave integrated circuits). A three-way divider has been fabricated which achieved 5.8 dB nominal insertion loss and 18-dB isolation from 4 to 10 GHz. This topology consists of lumped-element interconnected networks and is thus ideally suited for MMIC technology. The proposed minimum-element topology favors component values which are easily realizable and thus minimize losses due to low-Q elements.<>
