Abstract
A modified design that can reject the nth harmonic components in the Wilkinson power divider is presented. After adding transmission lines of electrical lengths determined by suppression terms between two transformers of the traditional design, a solution of the modified Wilkinson divider can be found. Experimental results show the second and third harmonic suppression to be -45.3 dB and -46.4 dB, respectively, while maintaining the conventional performance at the fundamental frequency.
