A Miniaturized Wideband Wilkinson Power Divider

A miniaturized wideband Wilkinson Power Divider realized using OMMIC ED02AH Technology is presented. Simulation and optimization are accomplished by Advanced Design System (ADS). The final optimization results shows that it has a bandwidth of 76.5% (8.4 - 18.8 GHz), 1 dB insertion loss and good isolation (< -12 dB) between the output ports. The layout of the presented power divider is given, which shows that compacted size (0.75 × 0.45 mm2) is achieved successfully.
