Authors' reply [Compact broadband Gysel Power Divider]

In the reviewers' comments of the initial study, one reviewer suggested the proposed circuit should be extended to support unequal power-dividing output. Thus, the further studies of the initial circuit during the paper review process has been added. Therefore, the research of our work has been performed completely independently and without any prior knowledge of the work. In the research, it has been also noticed the close relationship between the rat-race coupler and the two-way Gysel power divider.
