This paper describes a design of radix-2 SRT divider unit, which supports IEEE-754 floating-point standard, using redundant binary number system (RBNS). With the RBNS, the partial quotient decision logic can operate about 20-% faster, as well as can be implemented with a simple hardware when compared to the conventional methods based on two's complement arithmetic. By using a new redundant binary adder proposed in this paper, the mantissa divider is efficiently implemented, thus resulting in about 20% smaller area than other works. The divider unit supports double precision format, five exceptions and four rounding modes. It was verified with Verilog HDL and Verilog-XL.

Since the ultra-high voltage power apparatus are recommended to withstand switching surge generated from the electric power system, the switching impulse voltage is generally used to verify this requirement at the testing laboratories. Recently, the international standard(IEC 60060-2) related to the high voltage measurement techniques is revised requiring a traceability of measuring system for high voltage measurements. In this paper, a reference divider for switching impulse voltage is developed satisfying the revised. IEC standard and the possibility of applications has been investigated. Therefore, the characteristics of the high and low voltage side resistor and the shielding ring have been analyzed including the step response characteristics of the prototype divider. Throughout various efforts, it is confirmed that our measuring device has shown compatible characteristics as a reference divider.

The output voltage value of AC high voltage source has been usually obtained by multiplying low voltage value measured at both terminals of low voltage resistor by the dividing ratio of the high voltage capacitive divider. From the dividing ratio determined of each 200 kV capacitive divider, we have developed step-up method for measuring the output voltage up to 400 kV using two same type of 200 kV capacitive dividers connected in series. The theoretical dividing ratio of 400 kV capacitive dividers connected in series coincides with that of manufacturer's certification within measurement uncertainty. Thus, this developed step-up method makes it possible to extend the range of output voltage from 200 kV to 400 kV. Furthermore, The dividing ratio of divider under test obtained using this step-up method is consistent with that obtained using one 200 kV high voltage divider within corresponding uncertainties.

In this paper, a new method is suggested to reduce the size of a wide-band array antenna. The power-divider for the feeding structure is made compact as ${\lambda}/8$ with the help of a novel Metamaterial UWB bandpass filter. This power divider is clearly different from others in that the proposed design uses microstrip structured Composite Right and Left-Handed (CRLH) filters, while others use two dielectric layers or long tapered transmission lines. In order to validate the proposed design method, the circuit and full-wave simulated results of the power divider with the Metamaterial UWB filters are compared to each other, and the Metamaterial properties of the structure are shown with the electric field at the ZOR and dispersion diagram. Furthermore, the antenna performance of the fabricated antenna with the power divider is measured and compared with the prediction. Also, the size reduction effect by the proposed scheme is addressed.

본 연구에서는 제한된 온도 영역에서 보통 정밀 온도 측정 소자로 많이 쓰이는 NTC 써미스터를 사용하여 전압 분배 회로(voltage divider circuits)를 구성하였다. 분압 저항이 온도측정 해상도에 미치는 영향을 분석하고, 회로의 분압 저항을 결정하는 방법으로서 측정하고자 하는 온도 구간의 최대 온도와 최저 온도의 NTC 써미스터 저항 값을 조화평균을 사용하여 분압 저항(divider resistance)으로 사용하였다. 선택한 분압 저항이 이상적인 저항인지에 대하여 조화평균으로 계산한 분압 저항과 대조군 저항으로 전압 분배 회로를 병렬로 구성하였다. 센서들을 항온조 넣어 설정온도($50^{\circ}C$, $70^{\circ}C$, $90^{\circ}C$)에서 각각의 온도를 측정한 후 측정 데이터의 표준편차를 구하여 평균 온도 분해능을 비교 하는 실험을 하였다. 실험결과 측정온도 구간의 최대 온도와 최소 온도에서의 NTC 써미스터 저항 값을 조화평균으로 계산한 분압 저항 값이 대조군 저항에 비해 설정온도에서 보다 높은 평균 온도 분해능(sensing resolution)을 보였다.

This study presents the design of a Wilkinson power divider for three-way output ports (WPD3OP), which incorporates a defected ground structure (DGS). An asymmetric power divider is integrated into the output ports of the conventional Wilkinson power divider (WPD), establishing a three-way output port configuration. The DGS introduces periodic or irregular patterns into the ground plane to suppress unwanted electromagnetic wave propagation, and its incorporation can enhance the performance of the power divider, in terms of the power-division ratio, isolation, and bandwidth, by reducing spurious resonances. The proposed design algorithm for an asymmetric power divider for three-way output ports is analyzed via circuit simulations using High-Frequency Simulation Software (HFSS). The results verify the validity of the proposed method. The analysis of the WPD3OP integrated with DGS certifies the achievement of a center frequency of 2 GHz. This confirmation is supported by schematic ideal design simulation results and measurements encompassing insertion losses, return losses, and isolation.

This paper suggested a theoretical approach and an implementation for the design of an unequal Wilkinson power divider with a high dividing ratio operating at two-frequencies. The T-section transmission lines and the two-section of Monzon's theory are proposed to operate a dual-band application. To achieve the high dividing ratio divider, the high impedance line using a T-shaped structure and low impedance lines with periodic shunt open stubs are implemented. For the validation of this divider, a dual-band power divider with a high dividing ratio of 5 is simulated and measured at 1 GHz and 2 GHz. The measured performances of the divider are in good agreements with simulation results.

In this paper, the design and implementation of K-Band frequency dividers using 130 nm CMOS process are presented. A Miller frequency divider is presented, which realizes a division range from 20 to 25 GHz with 7.2 mW power consumption from 1.2 V supply. The layout size of the core circuit is about $315{\times}246\;um^2$. In addition, a CML frequency divider which divides the output signal of the Miller frequency divider is also presented, which realizes a division range from 8.5 to 13 GHz with 5.7 mW power consumption. The layout size of the CML core is about $91{\times}98\;um^2$. Cascading the Miller and CML frequency dividers, we confirmed the divide-by-4 operation for the input signal from 20 to 25 GHz.

From the present paper we researched about the design of 4-Way Wilkinson divider with waveguide to stripline transition which used to split the LO signal with equi-amplitude and equi-phase in the X-Band Monopulse radar RF front-end. The monopulse radar front end operating in the X-Band is composed of 3 waveguide reception mixers which down convert sum, azimuth and elevation signal to IF and one SSB waveguide mixers which generate X-Band test signal. It is required the 4-way divider with low loss, equi amplitude and equiphase splitting the LO signal to provide the LO signal to each mixer consisting RF frontend. In this paper we designed and fabricated the 4-Way Wilkinson divider with waveguide transition to divide the LO signal into equi-amplitude and equi-phase. The fabricated Wilkinson divider have the insertion loss 6.8dB, VSWR 1.06~1.28, and phase balance maximum 4.5degree for each output ports.

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.
