Abstract
This paper
describes the design and simulation of 1:2.1 power dividers using lumped
element model at 54 MHz frequency for radar applications using ADS (Advanced
Design System) software. Firstly, designing the symmetrical Wilkinson power
divider (WPD) that achieves equal-power split at N arbitrary frequencies is
introduced. Each quarterwave branch in the conventional Wilkinson divider is
replaced by N sections of transmission lines, and the isolation between the
output ports is achieved by using N resistors. The design parameters are the
characteristic impedances and lengths of the N transmission line sections, and
the N isolation resistors. The even–odd modes of analysis are used to derive
the design equations. Closed-form expressions, which are suitable for CAD
purposes, are derived for the dualband divider. This device provides maximum
isolation between ports and also useful for limited bandwidth applications.
