I need to design a 1 to 4 power divider from 0.5GHz-6.5GHz. I tried Wilkinson divider using microstrip on RF-60A (Er=6.15, H=1.52). With 4 stages I can meet the specifications. However, the size would be extremely large. Hopefully the length of power divider will not exceed 20 mm
Anyone could give me some suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Lumped up to 6GHz ...
I think not good idea
only 20mm you have max?!?!?!?
H=1.52mm or inch!?!?!?
If it's mm you can reduce your H to 32mil (1.52mm=62mil app)
then w of microstrip will be tight.
Also try to inrease Er to 9 for example the λ/4 will be short
of course during layout try to make snakes
also may be you can do it multilayer (4 layer for instance)
