Abstract

This paper described the design and fabrication of broadband 4-way $90^{\circ}$ power divider which has a $90^{\circ}$ phase difference between output ports in 20${\sim}$100 MHz VHF-band. A 4-way $90^{\circ}$ power divider was designed using 4-way in-phase power divider which consisted of three 2-way in-phase power dividers and two second-order all pass filters which gives $90^{\circ}$ phase difference between output ports. The measured insertion loss was less then 6.6 dB, return loss and isolation were better than 19 dB, and phase error between $90^{\circ}$ phase difference outputs was less than ${\pm}$1$^{\circ}$.

본 논문은 20${\sim}$100 MHz 범위의 VHF 대역에서 동작하며 출력 포트간 $90^{\circ}$ 위상차를 갖는 4분기 $90^{\circ}$ 전력분배기의 설계 및 제작에 관하여 기술하였다. 4분기 $90^{\circ}$ 전력분배기는 3개의 2분기 동위상 전력분배기로 구성된 4분기 동위상 전력분배기와 출력 포트간 90도 위상차를 갖게 하는 2개의 2차 전대역 통과 필터로 설계되었다. 구현된 4분기 $90^{\circ}$ 전력분배기는 20${\sim}$100 MHz 주파수 범위에서 최대 6.6 dB의 삽입 손실, 19 dB 이하의 반사 손실 및 격리도, $90^{\circ}$ 위상차를 갖는 출력 포트에서 ${\pm}1^{\circ}$ 이하의 위상 오차 특성을 얻었다.
