Title: Design of a Filtering Power Divider with Simple Symmetric Structure Using StubsDOI: https://doi.org/10.3390/sym14101973
Type: Open Access

Abstract
A power divider (PD) with a wide stopband and simple symmetric structure using open- and short-ended stubs is analyzed and implemented in this paper. In the proposed power divider, for the first time, the output resistor is divided into two sections and open- and short-ended stubs are used between the resistors. The incorporated open- and short-ended stubs have resulted in a controllable bandwidth for the proposed PD, which resulted in 40% of the fractional bandwidth considering 3 dB attenuation of insertion loss. The proposed PD operates at 2 GHz, which shows more than 20 dB attenuation for the return and isolation losses. In addition, the obtained insertion loss at the operating frequency is approximately 0.3 dB, which shows a minor loss, and also, high isolation is achieved in the device. Moreover, 20 dB and 30 dB attenuation levels have been achieved for second and third harmonics. The results show high performance for the proposed power divider.
