Abstract :
Two uniplanar power dividers using coupled CPW and asymmetrical CPS have been developed for MICs and MMICs. These circuits provide substantially improved performance over a wide bandwidth compared to conventional microstrip power dividers. Measured results show that both power dividers have greater than 20 dB isolation, less than 0.4 dB insertion loss over a bandwidth of more than 30% centered at 3 GHz. Experimental results agree well with calculated ones.
