COMPUTATION OF PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS OF A TWO‐WAY IMPEDANCE‐TRANSFORMING WILKINSON DIVIDER

Performance characteristics of a two‐way impedance transforming Wilkinson divider are computed using design parameters obtained by imposing the conditions of perfect match at the input port and infinity isolation at the output ports at the center frequency of operation. It is found that, theoretically, infinity bandwidth of match at the input port and split is achieved for an impedance transformation of 2:1 and that similar input VSWR and insertion loss characteristics are achieved for two cases with transformation ratios (R2/R1) whose product is 4:1.
