  • Abstract

    An Ultra-wideband (UWB) power divider with tapered line and loaded structure is presented in this paper UWB applications. The power divider is designed and simulated with a loaded structure to enhance the bandwidth and for size miniaturization. From the simulation and measurement results, it shows that the power divider working frequency is from 2-14 GHz. The phase for port 2 and port 3 of the designed power divider is in phase can be useful to radiate the two port UWB devices.
