Compact Microwave Power Divider in Modern Maritime Communications

The article describes the research and development of a compact microwave power divider for marine applications operating in the frequency range 100-200 MHz. Implemented the proposed divider on the distributed elements and the substrate FR4. The simulation of the device and its frequency characteristics is performed. The topological solution for the implementation of the divider on the printed circuit board, has reduced its dimensions by 70%. Artificial transmission lines were used, which made it possible to profitably use the space inside the divider. Electrodynamic modeling showed that a compact divider has 10

narrower band than a conventional divider.
