研究目的
Investigating the design and performance of a 2-way Power Divider (PD) for Ultra-Wideband (UWB) applications using two cascaded sections of Wilkinson Power Divider (WPD) with equal characteristic impedances and unequal electrical lengths, including an open stub to improve matching, isolation, and bandwidth.
研究成果
The proposed 2-way power divider for UWB systems demonstrates improved performance in terms of insertion loss, output return loss, and isolation with a 50% area reduction compared to similar designs. The agreement between simulated and measured results validates the design equations and methodology.
研究不足
The design may be sensitive to fabrication tolerances and parasitics, leading to discrepancies between simulated and measured results, especially in isolation (S32).
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The design is based on two cascaded sections of WPD with equal characteristic impedances and unequal electrical lengths, incorporating an open stub for improved performance. The analysis employs the Even-Odd Mode method and ABCD matrix for exact closed-form design equations.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The proposed PD is fabricated on a Rogers RT/Duroid 5880 substrate, with performance compared to other published 2-way microstrip power dividers.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Rogers RT/Duroid 5880 substrate, Rohde & Schwarz ZVB20 vector 4-port network analyzer for measurements.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The design methodology includes initial parameter calculation, simulation using Advanced Design System from Agilent (Keysight), fabrication, and measurement of S-parameters.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Performance parameters such as input return loss, output return loss, insertion loss, and isolation are analyzed through simulation and measurement.
