A production insensitive compact power divider
Power dividers are inevitable components in most microwave systems. Well known topologies like Wilkinson power divider are widely studied in the literature. An all 50 ohm power divider is another topology presented in the some works. In this study, an all 50 ohm structure is taken as the basis and a compact-easy to implement modification the power divider is proposed. A sample structure is designed, implemented and measured to prove the topology. The decreased sensitivity to production tolerances is demonstrated by various design modifications. Comparisons with well-known topologies are given for reference.
