Design and simulation of 8-way unequal amplitude equal phase RF feeder network using conventional microstrip technology for 430MHz Tropospheric wind profiling radar

Abstract

In this paper, the feasibility of a amplitude equal phase power splitter using microstrip technology in the 430MHz UHF ban Tropospheric wind profiling radar. Feeder netw amplitude is designed based on the side lobe lev 17db down from the main beam. The theore simulated results are presented to verify our pro main advantage of this present design is to reduce Transmit-Receive module.
