Abstract :
In this paper a filling space Hilbert curve is used to develop a very compact Wilkinson power divider with equal power division operating in the dual band from 1MHz to 240 MHz and from 315 MHz to 490 MHz. FR4 material with dielectric constant of 4.65, thickness of 1.5 mm and loss tangent of 0.02 is used as a substrate for cost reduction purpose. The proposed structure has a size reduction of 93.54 % relative to conventional one.
