Abstract

An improved lumped-distributed planar 3 dB Wilkinson divider is presented. The technique reduces the number of components and via-grounds. An analysis based on ideal transmission lines provides design equations for the proposed Wilkinson divider. The topology gives good results at L-band and uses less than half of the substrate area of the standard topology.
