Abstract :
A sector-shaped circuit configuration is proposed for designing planar power dividers/combiners that are compatible with microstrip circuits. Interesting experimental results on 2-way, 3-way, 4-way, and 5-way power divider circuits are presented. Impedance matrix expressions for annular sectors are derived and used in the two-dimensional analysis of these circuits.<>
