Novel Wilkinson Power Divider with Uniform Impedance Line

A novel Wilkinson power divider with shunt-stub using uniform impedance line is proposed. Compared with conventional Wilkinson power divider, the proposed divider avoids thin microstrip trace. Consequently it can be a good choice for the case of handling high power capability. Additionally, by tuning the length of shunt-stub, output power ratio is conveniently changed, which make it possible to deal with alterable power. Therefore, the proposed divider can be widely applied to many passive and active microwave circuits.
