  • Abstract

    This paper deals with the design and simulation of unequal 5-way Wilkinson power divider used for Electronic Warfare (EW) applications. The frequency range of operation intended for this design is 6 GHz to 18 GHz. The proposed Wilkinson power divider is designed on a low cost FR-4 substrate having height of 1.5mm, relative permittivity of 4.4 and loss tangent of 0.02. The design occupies a size of 11mm x 33 mm x 1. 5 mm. Equal split Wilkinson power dividers are utilized for implementation of this design. High isolation has been obtained throughout the frequency range of 6 GHz to 18 GHz. The design procedure is discussed. The simulated results are presented by using ADS simulation software.
