Miniature Broadband Power Divider in Modern Maritime Communications

The review of existing miniaturization methods is carried out. The design of a compact broadband power divider is also proposed and its characteristics are calculated. The developed coupler can be used in marine communication systems. The proposed version of the device is technologically simple to manufacture and configure when modeling. At a frequency of 1 GHz, the device has 70% smaller area and 10% narrower frequency band. The review of methods for reducing the device area is performed.
