A Novel Design of a Wilkinson Power Divider for Dual-Band Operation
This paper presents a novel design of a Wilkinson power divider for dual-band operation. In the proposed design, the conventional two quarter-wavelength transmission lines are replaced with two stubs connected by a single coupled line. Additionally, an isolation resistor is connected between the two output ports. Using even-odd mode analysis and the ABCD matrix method, the design equations for the proposed circuit are derived. The divider is fabricated on an FR-4 substrate with a dielectric constant of 4.3 and a thickness of 0.8 mm. Simulation results show that the divider achieves good performance at both design frequencies, 0.85 GHz and 2.3 GHz, with low return loss at all ports (Sn1, S22, and S33), good transmission coefficients (S21 and S3), and high isolation (S23) between the two output ports

The proposed structure consists of a dielectric resonator, which is mounted on plastic substrate. This resonator is fed using a simple aperture-coupled feed line over a rectangular feeding slot made on a copper ground plane. The substrate has a relative permittivity 𝜀𝜀𝑟𝑟 of 2.65 and tan 𝛿𝛿 0.025. The proposed antenna has a compact size of 49.5x49.5x1.6𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚3. The physical dimensions of the dielectric resonator are 30mm, 30mm, and 35mm for the length, width, and height, respectively.

Design and Parametric Analysis of a Rat-Race Power Divider for 5G Applications
Power dividers, including rat-race divider, play a crucial role in wireless communication systems. The rat-race divider has been known in microwave engineering for many decades, which is used in numerous applications such as Mixers, power dividers/combiners, phase shifters, and baluns. To use this rat-race coupler as a power divider, an input signal is applied at one port, the outputs at two other ports are equal in magnitude, but 180 degrees out of phase. This work presents a parametric study of a conventional rat-race coupler, which is intended for 5G lower band applications, using the CST simulator. The parametric study aims to demonstrate the impact of certain parameters such as physical dimensions and electrical properties on the characteristics of our designed rat-race in terms of bandwidth, power ratio, and isolation. The proposed structure of standard rat-race power divider with its four ports operates at the frequency of 3.5 GHz.

Design of Coupled-Line Wilkinson Power Divider for UMTS mobile applications
A power divider is a critical passive device, which is commonly used in microwave systems. This microwave component splits the input power, evenly or unevenly, into several smaller output powers. In this paper, we present a design of a coupled-line Wilkinson power divider (WPD) for UMTS mobiles applications. This divider consist two (λ/4) transmission lines and an isolation resistor R, which is connected between output ports. The main disadvantage of this structure is large size and narrow band, especially at lower frequencies. The proposed design composed a signal coupled line to replace the two (λ/4) transmission lines in conventional WPD and one isolation resistor R. The use of a coupled line, in our WPD, offers many advantages compared to the standard WPD including compact size, wide bandwidth, low profile and high isolation. The design was printed on a Rogers RO4003C with an ɛᵣ=3.55 and a thickness of 0.813 mm. Simulations results indicate that the proposed WPD presents low return losses in all ports and high isolation between output ports over the third-generation mobile band.

Power divider/combiners are among the most commonly used passive devices in the microwave and millimeter wave systems for modern communication. This paper presents simulation of a wideband GYSEL power divider for wireless applications. The GYSEL PD is a three-port device with matched ports and isolated outputs, suitable for high power applications through the use of two shunt-terminated resistors. The proposed power divider consists of transmission line sections with different characteristic impedances and two grounded resistors. The electrical lengths of all the TLs sections are 90º at the design frequency. The divider network is designed using Computer Simulation Technology software by applying proposed GPD design. The GPD was designed on a Rogers’s RO4003C substrate with dielectric constant of 3.55. The thickness of the substrate is 0.508 mm and loss tangent of 0.0027. The proposed GYSEL power divider is printed on a substrate with a size of 35 x 30 mm2. The simulated results of the proposed divider show good return loss, insertion loss and isolation performance across the band from 3.4 to 3.6 GHz; with central frequency at 3.5 GHz. GYSEL power divider can split an incoming signal into two parts successfully. The measured input return loss (S11) are better than -15 dB, and output return loss (S22, S33 ) is better than -20 dB across the wide-band range. The isolation is greater than -30 dB with a very wide band, from 3.4 to 3.6 GHz. In addition, the power is divided equally between output ports with the same phase. This new structure is suitable for wideband, high isolation, and high power applications.

Design of Coupled-Line Wilkinson Power Divider for Wireless Communications
A power divider (PD) is a fundamental component in wireless communication systems. This microwave component divides the input power equally or unequally into several smaller outputs. There are many types of PDs in microwave domain such as Wilkinson power divider (WPD), GYSEL power divider (GPD) and others, however, WPDs are commonly used in microwave electronics. These dividers typically operate at a single frequency band and utilize two quarter-wavelength (λ/4) transmission lines and one isolation resistor. The standard WPD distributes power equally with minimal loss, presents reciprocity as it behaves similarly in both directions, and provides high isolation between the output ports. This paper presents the design of a WPD with coupled lines for wireless applications. The coupled lines offer many advantages to the standard WPD in terms of wide operating frequency range, compact size, and low profile. The proposed WPD operates at 2.1 GHz third generation mobile applications. The designed Wilkinson PD was printed on a Rogers' RO4003C substrate with a dielectric constant of 3.55. The substrate thickness is 0.813 mm, and a copper thickness of 35 μm. Based on the simulation results, it is shown that the proposed WPD presents low return losses in all the ports and high isolation over the third-generation mobile band.
