4. Wilkinson power combiner-divider

The Wilkinson power combiner-divider (figure 31 ) is a hexapole whose access channels 1, 2, 3 have characteristic impedance Z 0 . Channels 1-2 and 1-3 are connected by quarter-wave (λ/4) lines of characteristic impedance Z 1 ; channels 2-3 are connected by a resistor 2R 0 .

4.1 Matrix S

  • When a wave arrives in channel 1, it splits into two equal parts in channels 2 and 3, since the structure is rigorously symmetrical with respect to channel 1. By virtue of the properties of the λ/4 line, we see that the matching...
