Thank You.
How to calculate the input and out length of the microstrip?
Please help me. Give me explicit detail please.
Thank You.[\quote]
Hi, keep in mind a quarter wave transformer. The impedance transformation is:
Za = Zo²/Zload
So Zo = sqrt(ZaZload)
And the basic electronics, ohms law states that R1||R2 = (R1R2)/(R1+R2) so if R1 = R2, Rt = R1/2, hence P = V^2/R and the voltage for each resistor is the same, so if the V remains, the power will be splited into equal parts.
So, for equal wilkinson power divider in a 50Ω system:
1.- Transform each 50Ω impedance into 100Ω by means of pair quarter wave transformers. Here the Zo of each line-transformer is sqrt(50*100) ≈ 70.71 Ω
2.- Connect them in parallel
3.- Don't forget a 100Ω dummy load between splitting ports!!. In ideal conditions that dissipates 0 watts because equal splitting and perfect matching implies sma tension across splitting ports, but you know we are in real world
For unequal power splitters you can derive the by same equations the line impedances. Pozar's Microwave engineering is a good reference.
