Abstract :
This paper presents a novel design of microwave power divider with harmonic suppression. Explicit closed-form design equations are derived based upon even- and odd- mode analysis. The proposed circuit also features simple layout, compact size and enhanced stop-band attenuation. For demonstration, the simulated and experimental results of a 1 GHz power divider implemented on microstrip are given.
