✦ Synopsis

The design and de¨elopment of planar single-stage and double-stage 6-way and 12-way fork-type power di¨iders at L-band are presented. To facilitate the design using microwa¨e CAD, wires of HP-EEsof are applied to emulate junctions formed by more than four microstrip lines. As the wiring representation of a multiway microstrip junction is not a true representation, reacti¨e stub compensation is used in the practical de¨elopment. The achie¨ed results confirm the predicted ones, with less than "0.5 dB amplitude balance in insertion loss, more than 20 dB input and output return loss, and a¨erage ports' isolation more than 20 dB.
