A Wilkinson power divider with harmonic suppression through low-pass filter for GSM and LTE applications
2024
Overview
Conventional Wilkinson power dividers (WPDs) perform satisfactorily near the intended operation frequency. Nonetheless, these WPDs demonstrate subpar performance in the stopband and necessitate a significant physical space. To enhance the existing level of advancement and in order to improve on the current state-of-the-art, a modified WPD is designed and fabricated, demonstrating a significant improvement in stopband and superior isolation between output ports. To improve the stopband and suppress unwanted harmonics, a low-pass filter (LPF) structure is placed in the both branches of the conventional WPD. The proposed modified WPD depicts a wide stopband bandwidth (
f
SB
> 17.25 GHz) from 2.75 to over 20 GHz with an attenuation level of 20 dB, suppressing 2nd to 11th harmonics
.
According to measured results, the input return loss (|S
11
|), insertion loss (|S
21
|) and output isolation (|S
32
|) at
f
= 1.8 GHz are better than 33 dB, 3.2 dB and 21 dB, respectively. Indeed, the proposed modified WPD exhibits a magnitude imbalance of 0.00018, a phase imbalance of 1.25 degrees and a group delay of 0.5 ns. The proposed WPD depicts a compact size of 35 mm × 25 mm (0.38 λg × 0.27 λg), where λg is the guided wavelength at
f
= 1.8 GHz. There is a good agreement between the simulated and measured results. According to the obtained results, the proposed modified WPD shows a desirable performance for modern LTE and GSM communication applications.
