Abstract
In this paper, we propose the design and performance of an unequal divider using transmission line with periodic capacitor shunt connection. To design divider with a high dividing ratio, we limit a high impedance line value to fabricate microstrip line and also, design a low impedance line of below $10{\Omega}$ using periodic capacitor shunt connection. As a design example, a 10:1 ratio divider was designed and measured at center frequency 1 GHz to show the validity of the unequal divider using periodic capacitor shunt connection. Its performance is in good agreements with the simulated results.
