Broadband multilayer in-phase power divider

A new broadband in-phase power divider based on multilayer technology is presented. A simple design procedure is developed for the proposed multilayer power divider. An S-band four-way multilayer power divider was designed and measured. The simulated results are compared with the measured data, and good agreement is reported. The measured 15 dB return loss bandwidth is demonstrated to be about 72%, and its phase difference between the output signals is less than 3deg.
