Design of microstrip T junction power divider circuits for enhanced performance

This paper details the development of novel power-divider T junction circuits which have unique prescribed transmission characteristics. Subsequent to a description of the design technique, the paper describes experimental results obtained on a series of fabricated circuit designs. These circuits were fabricated on microstrip material having a relative dielectric of 2.17, and substrate thickness of 20 mils. The measured results are shown to compare well with computer simulations over a frequency range from 50 MHz to 8 GHz.
