Abstract-In order to overcome the problems facing Cr-Cu-Au metallization, such as discoloration, diffusion of Cu into Au, a four-layer metallization Cr-Cu-NiP-Au is demonstrated on alumina substrate for microwave integrated circuit (MICs). A amorphous and nonmagnetic NiP barrier layer is used to avoid the diffusion of Cu into Au through the grain boundaries, which are the low activation energy path for diffusion at moderate temperature.In this view, properties of Cr-Cu-NiP-Au metallization, such as sheet resistance, solderability, bondability and adhesion strength, are evaluated. Further integrity of Cr-Cu-NiP-Au structure is evaluated by subjecting to this structure to multiple temperature cycles test. Visual observation is carried our before and after the thermal cycling test. No degradation is observed as the consequence of thermal cycling test. Test and evaluation are carried out for a multi-section broadband power divider (1 : 2) on this metallization (metal thickness 12-12.5 microns) in the 0-6 GHz frequency range. Insertion loss, return loss and isolation are comparable with Cr-Cu-Au (metal thickness 5.0-6.0 microns). Performance of the power divider and properties of this metallization system reveal its novelty over the existing.

“…Fooks and Zakarevicius analyzed a classical Wilkinson power divider as a four-port network, one of which terminated with a resistor [2]. Recent research works concentrate on increasing the frequency band of power dividers [4,5], decreasing their size [6,7] or generating unequal output powers. Since our application needs none of these requirements, we are going to proceed with a classical Wilkinson power divider design.…”

This paper describes the design of a balanced signal distribution system to feed an n by n set of mixers with local oscillator signals equal in frequency, phase and magnitude. This system is used in a planar n by n receiving/ transmitting array that measures and/or controls the direction of arrival of the received/transmitted signals. The design steps are clearly described. Optimization goals and variables are specified and the results of linear, electromagnetic and combined simulations are given and compared. The final product layout is shown and its performance is described. This paper is a typical example of a successful computer-aided design which saves time, effort and money before manufacturing a prototype. It introduces the active power divider as a zero-loss signal distribution device.

“…However, the operating bandwidth of the Wilkinson divider is narrow. To achieve wider bandwidth, several modified types of the Wilkinson divider have been developed [2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. However, the quarter-wavelength transmission lines in these power dividers result in the presence of the spurious passbands.…”

The design of an ultrawideband (UWB) power divider with harmonics suppression is presented. With the proposed approach, the size of the quarter‐wavelength transmission line can be reduced and the high order harmonics can be suppressed. The design equations are deduced by transmission line theory. A prototype power divider operated at UWB band is designed and fabricated. Experimental results show good performance of the proposed design. In addition, a stop‐band with rejection level more than 20 dB is from 17.3 to 24.5 GHz. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
