Abstract

A novel power divider with fixed strip width using offset double‐sided parallel‐strip lines (DSPSL) is proposed. The offset double‐sided parallel‐strip lines allows an additional design freedom, i.e., offset distance between the top and bottom strips of the offset double‐sided parallel‐strip lines for characteristic impedance besides the strip width. This can reduce the discontinuities effectively resulting from the change of the strip width and improve the power‐handling capability of the proposed power divider. The simulated and measured results are presented and show good agreement. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
