Wideband Power Divider Using a Coaxial Cable  

Park, Ung-Hee (강원대학교 공학대학 전자공학과)
Abstract
A coaxial-cable impedance transformer that can be used in high power and wideband frequency range is an arbitrary impedance transformation ratio by an additional coaxial cable. The coaxial-cable impedance transformer to be 50-${\Omega}$ to 25-${\Omega}$ impedance transformation ratio is easily operated an wideband power divider by connecting two 50-${\Omega}$ lines at 25-${\Omega}$ impedance point. This wideband power divider has a poor output matching characteristic and a poor isolation characteristic between two output ports. In this paper, it proposes a coaxial-cable power divider to be a good output matching and isolation characteristics as it uses the singly terminated filter design theory. The odd-mode operation characteristic of the suggested power divider to use singly terminated low pass filter coefficient due to matching order and ripple value is examined by ADS program. And, it fabricates and measures the operation characteristic of 2-way power divider with 2nd-order and 4th-order matching circuit.
