Abstract :
Parallel and series planar antenna array feed networks composed of Wilkinson-type and coupled-line power dividers are examined. Phase characteristics are compared in a wide band. Some optimal behaviour of a parallel coupled-line power divider is observed. The measured characteristics of selected coupled-line power dividers are also presented
