Hi everyone! Could anyone tell me the differences between microstrip and lumped element Wilkinson power dividers? Also their commons, advantages and disadvantages would be great!
 

Microstrip Wilkinson is more stable over process and temperature conditions because is not using lumped components. Usually even the 100 ohms resistor is printed on the board.
The characteristic of the microstrip Wilkinson is not affected by the SRF of the components, and also has wider bandwidth than lumped type.

Thank you a lot. Can anything be said about the area consumption of these options?
 

Microstrip use greater area than lumped type.
