Tóm tắt

In this paper a miniaturized low pass filter (LPF) with 2.5 GHz cut-off frequency and a novel compact, harmonics suppressed Wilkinson power divider (WPD) at 0.7 GHz is proposed. The proposed divider consists of two multi-stub LPFs and three open stubs at each port. The presented open stub at port one suppresses the second harmonic and other two open stubs at output ports, suppress the third harmonic. To suppress high order harmonics a novel 12 sections LPF based on aperiodic stub is proposed. This filter is designed to suppressed 4th to 15th harmonics. The cut off frequency of applied filter is 2.5 GHz, which creates 12 transmission zeros and suppresses corresponding 4th–15th harmonics of the proposed divider. The proposed WPD not only has perfect harmonics suppression, but also extremely decreases the circuit size. The overall size of the fabricated divider is only 0.116 λg × 0.044 λg, which shows more than 73% size reductions, compared to the 0.7 GHz conventional WPD.
