Abstract
This work emphasizes the design of a proposed 1- to 8-way Wilkinson power divider which can be utilized for L-band applications. The L band facilitates frequencies between 1 and 2 GHz. The present design is applied to feeding port of an 8-element antenna array. The characteristics of the existing design are to maintain equal power split at each port by using conventional insertion and power loss. The operating criterion of the power divider is it operates at 50 Ω and has a power-splitting ratio of 1:8, and the frequency Sweep of operation is 1.5 GHz. The modified version of the power divider varies with the conventional one in terms of strip measurement which automatically improves the divider presentation. The architecture and the optimization of the structure are done through the aid of the Computer Simulation Tool (CST). The aim of the divider to bring down the return loss makes it ideal for application on a feeding network to the antenna array. The added advantage of using this tool is the plots of the required structure along with clear representation of plots of the reflection coefficient at input port and the coefficients of propagation at output port.
