Development of Compact HMSIW Gysel Power Dividers With Microstrip Isolation Networks

Based on the concept of conventional Gysel power divider, a novel concept of half-mode substrate integrated waveguide (HMSIW) Gysel power divider was reviewed and developed, by simply combining a traditional HMSIW power divider and a microstrip isolation network. The proposed concept was reviewed, investigated, and analyzed thoroughly, after that, <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$Y$ </tex-math></inline-formula>-type, <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$T$ </tex-math></inline-formula>-type, and Parallel-type HMSIW Gysel power divider were designed and analyzed, respectively. Furthermore, based on Parallel-type design, a developed version using two isolation networks was proposed for frequency bandwidth enhancement. All the four prototypes were fabricated and measured for verification and comparison. The good electrical performances and compact configuration indicate the advantages of the proposed concept and an excellent candidate for high power-handling HMSIW/SIW circuits or systems.
