본 논문에서는 전력 분배비를 변화시킬 수 있는 전력 분배기/합성기를 설계하였다. 전력 분배기/합성기의 ${\lambda}/4$ 전송선로 특성 임피던스를 결합선로 또는 하이브리드로 변환하여 설계하였다. 결합 선로나 하이브리드의 결합포트와 격리포트를 동시에 On/Off시킴으로써 변화하는 임피던스를 이용하여 전력 분배비가 1:1에서 1:0으로 즉 전력이 두개의 포트에 같은 크기로 전달되다가 모든 입력이 하나의 출력포트로 모두 전달되는 전력 분배기를 설계하였다.

In this paper, the synthesis of distributed impedance transformers is presented that is essential for power divider design, whereby a broadband power divider is designed. Transfer functions of distributed transformers are synthesized with Chebyshev approximation, and their element values are calculated for various minimum insertion losses(MIL) and ripples. Desired performance of transformers is obtained by optimizing MIL's and ripples of a transfer function. As an application example, a four-way power divider is designed that operates over 2 to 8GHz frequency range. Experimental results are shown to approach the design performance, so transformer design by distributed network synthesis proves to be useful to power divider design.

In this paper, a high-power 20-way stripline power divider with low insertion loss and low side lobe level is successfully designed, fabricated and measured as a feed network for an S-band linear array antenna having Dolph-Chebyshev current distribution which has a narrow beam width and very low side lobe level (SLL). The 20-way stripline power divider consists of an 8-way power divider, three 4-way power dividers and three ring hybrids. It utilizes a T-junction structure as a basic element for power dividing. Notches and modified input/output N-to-stripline transitions are used for improving insertion loss and return loss. The fabricated power divider shows insertion loss less than 0.3 ㏈ and rms phase mismatch less than 8o in the full bandwidth. A final 40-way power divider is synthesized by combining symmetrically two 20-way power dividers and is expected to have SLL over 40 dB, based on the measured results of the 20-way power divider.

본 논문에서는 $90^{\circ}$ 하이브리드 결합기에 여파기 특성을 결합하여 전력분배와 하모닉 저지특성효과를 보여주고 있다. 일반적인 $90^{\circ}$ 하이브리드 결합기는 위상차를 갖고 전력을 분배, 합성하는 데에만 쓰이고 있기 때문에 비선형 소자와 결합함으로써 생기는 하모닉 성분을 억제하려면 여파기를 따로 설계해야 하는 단점이 있다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 하이브리드에 저역통과 여파기 특성을 결합함으로써 위상차와 전력분배는 물론 여파기 특성인 감쇠효과를 이용하여 하모닉 성분을 크게 감소시킬 수 있는 구조를 연구하였다.

In this paper, SSPA Module for X-band radar was designed and fabricated by using GaN MMIC. For the purpose of configuring the high power SSPA module, the drive steamers are composed of 2-layers of GaN MMIC with considering Gain Loss. In addition, the power divider and power combiner used a 4way approach by designing a 4-stage power amplifier. The power divider has a loss of -3.0dB or more, and the I/O has a loss of -0.2dB in the power combiner and the phase difference between the ports are good at $2^{\circ}$ on average. The fabricated SSPA module got the measurement results that satisfy a Gain 48dB, P(sat)=88.3W(49.46 dBm), PAE=30.3% or more efficiency in condition of frequency range 9~10GHz. The fabricated X-Band SSPA module can be applied in RF performance improvement for SSPA module whit improvement of power divider/combiner.

In this paper, we designed power divider that using cellular and PCS band as 2-way device, because each port of designed power divider have reversion that is used to divide the power or compose the power in case of the 2 way, if input port of characteristic impedance with 50$\Omega$ is loading the power then size and phase of power appear on two output port being shared to two parts equally. Usually, divider have division effect of 3dB, but divider have insertion loss when designed in this paper, we have the purpose to design that have good isolation and design that equal insertion loss with minimum insertion loss in the broadband.

In this paper, a 90$^{\circ}$ hybrid coupler with both power division and harmonic rejection characteristics is presented by applying a LPF characteristic to a conventional 90$^{\circ}$ hybrid. Since a conventional 90$^{\circ}$ hybrid coupler operates as a power divider/combiner using phase difference, it does not suppress higher order harmonics when it is incorporated with nonlinear amplifier. This requires an additional filter to take into account of the harmonics. The proposed 90$^{\circ}$hybrid coupler power provides the division capability and proper phase difference, as well as harmonic suppression characteristic by integrating LPF characteristic.

In this paper, a Ka-band 10 W power amplifier module is designed and fabricated using MIC(Microwave Integrated Circuit) module technology which combines multiple power MMIC(Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit) chips on a thin film substrate. Modified Wilkinson power dividers/combiners are used for millimeter wave modules and CBFGC-PW-Microstrip transitions are utilized for reducing connection loss and suppressing resonance in the high-gain and high-power modules. The power amplifier module consists of seven MMIC chips and operates in a pulsed mode. for the pulsed mode operation, a gate pulse control circuit supplying the control voltage pulses to MMIC chips is designed and applied. The fabricated power amplifier module shows a power gain of about 58 dB and a saturated output power of 39.6 dBm at a center frequency of the interested frequency band.

In this paper, we design and fabricate an instantaneous frequency measurement receiver with a frequency resolution of 125 MHz which detects and measures continuous signals in 4~6 GHz using path difference of delay lines. The receiver has a 4-bit configuration and consists of power dividers, delay lines, power combiners, power detectors, voltage comparator circuits and so on. The accuracy of the instantaneous frequency measurement is improved by applying offset voltage compensation to the comparator circuits to compensate the frequency-dependent path loss of the delay line and the frequency dependence of power detection.
