“…[1][2][3] Due to the advantages of frequency selection and high integration, the filtering power divider (FPD) is widely designed by adding filtering features into the conventional PDs to reject the unwanted signals. [4][5][6][7][8] Many reported design methodologies for FPDs are investigated and can be categorized into two cases. One is to replace the conventional λ/4 impedance transformer of a Wilkinson PD with the bandpass filter.…”

This study presents a novel design methodology of one‐to‐four filtering power divider (FPD) with a broadband response. It comprises three one‐to‐two power dividers (PDs) and a broadband bandpass filtering circuit in series. The impedance transformer of the one‐to‐two PD is designed into a dual‐T‐type symmetrical structure for improving the matching network and broadening the bandwidth, which includes a tapered transmission line, two cascaded microstrip lines with the same characteristic impedance, as well as a stepped‐impedance open stub. The bandpass filtering circuit is formed by three coupled quarter‐wavelength microstrip lines in parallel, where the intermediate subresonator is grounded via a hole instead of half wavelength line for pursuing a wider bandpass characteristic. The proposed FPD is fabricated and measured. The good performance is achieved with the return loss of >13.8 dB for input/output ports as well as minimum insertion loss of <0.21 dB (over the −6 dB splitting ratio) from 7.3 to 13 GHz.

“…Tunable filtering power dividers with constant absolutely bandwidth are reported in [7], and controllable bandwidth is reported in [8]. However, the number of varactors to ports ratio, in [7][8][9][10], is no less than 1, which involves a more complex bias circuit and higher cost. A tunable filtering power divider, utilizing a piezoelectric linear actuator, is reported in [11], whereas the size of the actuator is very bulky.…”

Abstract-This paper presents an electronically tunable dual-band filtering power divider (TDFPD) with tuning diodes sharing technique. Two dual-mode tunable resonators (DMTRs) are embedded into a conventional power divider to achieve dual-band tunable bandpass filtering response. The two bands of the proposed TDFPD can be tuned independently. Tuning diodes sharing technique is utilized to reduce the number of tunable diodes. A prototype has been designed and fabricated to validate the proposed design as shown by the good agreement between the measured and simulated results. The measurement shows that the center frequencies of the lower and upper bands can be independently tuned from 1.31 to 1.62 GHz and 2.92 to 3.30 GHz, respectively. Within the passbands, isolation between the two output ports is higher than 16 dB with small phase and magnitude imbalance.
