Abstract

Equal/unequal 4-way power divider suitable for satellite communication using SIW technology is presented in this paper. The control of positions of guiding posts provides equal or unequal power division ratios by maintaining the width of the SIW unchanged. In addition, the detailed descriptions for the proposed power divider include the general characteristics of radial waveguide, feeding part using coaxial cable, simple SIW structure, power-guiding posts, and transition for measurement. The comparison between the simulated and measured data shows a good agreement at a center frequency of 10 GHz. The measured input impedance bandwidths for equal and unequal power divisions are about 2.1 GHz and 3 GHz under the condition of less than VSWR 2:1, respectively.

본 논문에서는 기판 집적 도파관(Substrate Integrated Waveguide: SIW) 기술을 이용한 위성통신용 전력 분배기를 제안하였다. 출력 구형 도파관의 크기를 변화시키지 않고, 가이딩 포스트의 위치를 조절하여 등분 비등분의 전력 분배 비율을 조절하였다. 또한, 방사형 도파관의 기본적인 특성과 입력부, 전력 분배의 과정을 자세히 설명하였다. 방사형 도파관의 신호 여기 방법으로 전류 프로브를 사용하여 동축 케이블로 구현하였으며, 출력부는 마이크로스트립 선로를 천이 구조를 이용하여 SMA 커넥터를 이용하였다. 설계된 4분기 전력 분배기는 등분/비등분으로 동작할 수 있으며, 설계 결과를 시뮬레이션과 제작으로 검증하였다. 등분/비등분 전력 분배기의 측정된 결과는 VSWR 2:1을 기준 대역특이 약 2.1 GHz와 3 GHz이다.
