Abstract

Abstract In this paper, a new Wilkinson Power Divider ‎‎(WPD) using open and short stubs is proposed. ‎Open and short stubs are utilized instead of 1/4 wave transmission lines in initial ‎structure to achieve harmonics suppression. The proposed WPD is designed for ‎operational frequency of 0.9 GHz and creates 3 transmission ‎zeros at 1.8 GHz, 2.7 GHz and 3.6 GHz, for suppressing second, third and fourth harmonics. The proposed WPD has been fabricated and the ‎measurement results are in good accordance with simulation results. The designed ‎WPD has a 22 % fractional bandwidth with 0.1 dB insertion loss.‎
