A new analysis of n-way hybrid power dividers with equiamplitudes
Abstract
One of the distributed-constant circuits that divides one microwave input into n outputs is the n-way Hybrid Power Divider (HPD). An analysis of n-way HPD is obtained by cascading M sections of coupled n-wire lines of equal length with isolation resistors which are given by a general n-port resistive circuit including the Y-connection. The analysis is done by getting the eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenvectors of characteristic admittance matrices of n-wire coupled lines and admittance matrices for isolation resistors. By this analysis, it has been shown that the (n+1)-port made with a coupled n-wire line with isolation resistors of the Y-connection acts as a n-way HPD at narrow-band frequencies.
