Abstract :
Theoretical and experimental results are presented on a new N-way power divider/combiner, which is an extension of the N-way combiner by Wilkinson. The main advantages of the new design are (1) external isolation loads, permitting high-power loads, (2) easily realizable geometry, and (3) monitoring capability for imbalances at the output ports. A trial 8-way combiner with 20% bandwidth at a center frequency of 1.15 GHz fully verified the new design concept.
