## Abstract In this paper, a novel Wilkinson power divider utilizing left‐handed transmission lines (LHTLs) is presented. The proposed device was fabricated by using the lumped L–C (−λ/4) LHTLs instead of the right‐handed transmission lines branch arms of the conventional Wilkinson power divider. B

Abstract
A four‐way power divider can be designed by interconnecting three two‐way Wilkinson power dividers. This article investigates how the two‐way elements can be interconnected to achieve optimal response. It will be shown that by using properly chosen lengths of interconnecting transmission lines, the bandwidth of the power divider can be significantly broadened. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract The present paper proposes a novel design of a Wilkinson power splitter, which utilizes the nonlinear dispersion characteristic of a left‐handed transmission line (LHTL). The proposed device has been fabricated using the lumped L‐C −λ/4 LHTLs instead of the conventional TLs to implement
