Design of a Miniaturized Microstrip Wilkinson Power Divider

A miniaturized microstrip Wilkinson power divider is proposed in this paper. The designed power divider is miniaturized by means of using the snake-shaped structure to meet the engineering requirements. During the operation frequency band, the designed Wilkinson power divider has good performance of impedance matching at three ports and the measured return loss of each port are all less than -17dB. The isolation between two output ports is better than -20dB. The insert loss is less than 0.7dB. The designed power divider is fabricated to validate the design. The proposed power divider is measured and the simulated and measured results have a good agreement.
