Abstract
A novel approach to design ultra-wideband (UWB) equal power divider which uses stepped-impedance technology on microstrip line has been proposed in this paper. This divider uses the method of multi-section impedance transformer of microstrip lines. The designed power divider demonstrates that power from one input port is divided equally into two output ports. It also exhibits matched impedance termination at all the three ports and very good isolation between two output ports over the specified 3.1–10. Also, the simulated return loss is better than 10 dB over the UWB. In addition, the group delay and average insertion loss are around 0.20 ns around 3 dB across the UWB. The output ports are isolated by an amount greater than 10 dB over the UWB.
