Hi you guys

Right now im trying to figure out why in my microtrip linear array (2X1) its giving me such a bad return loss (-14dB), y alredy design a single patch with a great return loss ( -40dB; edge feed with lambada/4 transformer to match a 50 ohm input), so im suspecting its the power divider, i designed the transmision lines for 2.4 GHz, but i dont know why im getting such strange results on S11, im gonna upload my file, its a microstrip equal T power divider, the big rectangle is a 50ohm transmission line the other ones a 100 ohm lines ( Zo= Z1/2), its on a Fr4 dielectric, can somone plz tell me what im doing wrong, i expected to have s11 plot dipping on 2.4GHz or close, but i get completly the opposite plz help me.

Pd: i know that the width on my transmision lines are very accurate example : 50ohm its 3.08mm width of copper for er:4.4 Fr=2.4GHz .

hi you guys does no one know the answer to this one its pretty easy plz help me :)
 

First of all, if you are designing a wilkinson, you need a resisitance elelment between your outputs,

Otherwise, a lossless, reciprocal 3-port network, how good return loss you are expecting for all the ports??
