Abstract


In this paper, a solid, inexpensive power divider of 2.2 GHz with a low-pass filtering response is proposed, analyzed and designed. Following results have been achieved, S11 -14.7 dB, S12 -3.318 dB, S13 -3.008 dB. Design is based on the vertical slits around the corners, and eight floating parallel metals that keep the divider in current free state. It is symmetrical along the middle which provides significant compatibility in manufacturing process. Can be used within microwave band of frequencies in 2-4 GHz spectrum band in electromagnetics. Provides substantial stability and reliability in its working domain.
