Abstract
The Wilkinson power divider is one of the most commonly used components in wireless communication system for power division and/or combination. The Wilkinson power divider was invented in 1960 [1] and has completely matched output ports with sufficiently high isolation between them. The power divider consists of two (/4) branches of transmission line and a termination resistor of 100 , where is the wavelength of the transmission line.This article presents the design of a compact Wilkinson power divider for dual applications. The design is accomplished by transforming the length and impedance of the quarter wave sections of the conventional Wilkinson power divider into dual band -shaped sections. Simple design equations for basic design geometry are given. The dual band power divider geometry is analyzed using EM simulator and then realized at 1.8 and 4.775 GHz.
