Gysel power divider with efficient second and third harmonic suppression using one resistor

摘要

A Gysel power divider/combiner with the second and third harmonic suppression using one resistor is proposed. Three open-circuit stubs are used to suppress the second and third harmonics. To calculate the values of the design parameters, the closed-form design equations are derived. A sample power divider is designed at 1 GHz to verify the design procedure. The measured results are nearly in agreement with the simulation results. The proposed Gysel power divider provides a high power-handling advantage over Wilkinson power divider. Moreover, it has a fractional bandwidth of 30% and harmonic suppression of 25 and 35 dB at the second and third harmonics, respectively.
