Abstract
A novel three-way power divider using tapered lines is presented. It has several strip resistors which are formed like a ladder between the tapered-line conductors to achieve a good output isolation. The equivalent circuits are derived with the EE/OE/OO-mode analysis based on the fundamental propagation modes in three-conductor coupled lines. The fabricated three-way power divider shows a broadband performance in input return loss which is greater than 20 dB over a 3:1 bandwidth in the C-Ku bands.
