Abstract

Recently, wireless communication systems have been developed and the circuits which operate with the broad-band for multiband uses were introduced. However, broad-band circuits have problems that inevitably increase the size. Dual-band circuit operates only two frequency, therefore, it will be able to miniaturize through unnecessary decreased elements. The Wilkinson power divider is the one of the most commonly used components in wireless communication system for power division. Nowaday, the Wilkinson power divider is also demanded dual-band. In this paper, I propose miniaturized dual-band Wilkinson power divider operating at 2.45 GHz and 5.2 GHz for IEEE 802.11n standard. Proposed dual-band Wilkinson power divider is used in parallel stub line. The design is accomplished by transforming the electrical length and impedance of the quarter wave sections of the conventional Wilkinson power divider into dual band ${\pi}$-shaped sections.

최근, 무선통신 시스템의 발전으로 다중대역을 위해 광대역에서 동작하는 회로들이 소개되었다. 하지만 광대역에서 동작하는 회로들은 필연적으로 크기가 증가하는 단점이 있다. 이중대역에서 동작하는 회로는 원하는 두 주파수에서만 동작하기 때문에 불필요한 소자들의 감소로 소형화가 가능하다. Wilkinson 전력 분배기는 무선통신시스템에서 전력분배를 위해 일반적으로 사용되는 소자로써, 이 또한 최근 이중대역이 요구되어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 IEEE 802.11n WLAN을 위하여 2.45GHz와 5.2GHz에서 동작하는 소형화된 이중대역 Wilkinson 전력 분배기를 제안한다. 제안된 Wilkinson 전력 분배기는 일반적인 Wilkinson 전력분배기의 ${\lambda}$/4파장 부분을 ${\pi}$-형 병렬 스터브라인으로, 전기적 길이와 임피던스를 변환하여 수행되었다.
