Three dimensional transmission lines and power divider circuits

Abstract

keywords: baluns, transmission lines, power dividers.Abstract -We report the development of a number of novel broadband 3D circuits. We present the performance of a 3D X-band 4-way Wilkinson Divider. Excellent performance is also obtained from a delay line, and broadband coupled lines.We also introduce, for embedded transmission lines, a measurement of line losses, and an improved model for analysis and synthesis.978-1-4244-4321-5/09/$25.00 ©2009 IEEE
