Design of Single- and Dual-Band Power Dividers Integrated Filtering Responses Based on SIRs

Abstract In this paper, two single- and dual-band equal power dividers (PDs) integrated filtering responses are proposed using quarter-wavelength stepped-impedance resonators (SIRs). By appropriately adjusting the impedances and electric length ratios of SIRs, the proposed structures can achieve compact sizes and wide stop-band performances. In addition, source-load coupling is applied to create a pair of transmission zeros at each side of the pass-bands, which can improve effectively the frequency selectivity and the out-of-band rejection. To validate the design theory, two single- and dual-band PDs with good filtering responses are designed, implemented and measured, respectively. The predicted results on S parameters are compared with the measured ones and good agreement is achieved.
