Wilkinson Power Divider Theory
Wilkinson power divider is a solution of the loss less
T-junction problems, which arenot matched and non-isolated output
ports. The resistive T-junction divider can be asolution for the
matching problem but the isolation part cannot be solved and also
thissolution leads a power loss because of the resistive structure
of the resistive T-
junction divider. Wilkinson power divider is a lossy three port
network and it has aproperty of being lossless when the output
ports are matched. In addition, theisolation between output ports
are can be achieved in Wilkinson power divider.Dissipated power in
the Wilkinson power divider is from the reflected power. There
aretwo general type of the Wilkinson power dividers; first one is
the equal power dividerand the second one is unequal power
divider.
