A New 3 dB Power Divider for MM Wavelengths

Journal article, 2001

This paper presents a new type of 3-dB power divider that achieves wide band, low-loss and symmetric power division. In the paper we discuss the design considerations and present results of measurements at 10 and 100 GHz. The power divider symmetry is examined as a function of the termination loads mismatch. The simplicity of the presented divider makes it very suitable for application at mm and submm bands. The predicted and the measured performance are in very good agreement.
