Abstract

The approach to the development of dual-band power distribution devices with different power division ratios in different frequency bands, based on the method of a dual-frequency equivalent replacement, is considered in the article. For its implementation, an equivalent four-terminal network based on a section of coupled microstrip transmission lines is proposed in addition to the T- and —type circuits. Relations for calculating the electrical parameters of the circuit elements of these four-pole devices are obtained. The relations allow replacing the transmission line section with different values of the wave impedance in different frequency bands. The electrical length of such a section can vary and be different from π/2. Examples of modeling of non-equilateral power distribution devices with unequal branches such as two-channel balanced dividers and a ring divider (ring coupler) with power division coefficients of 2.0 and 1.0 in frequency bands with center frequencies of 2.0 and 3.6 GHz are given. Experimental measurement of characteristics of the designed models of the two devices showed good agreement between the experiment and the simulation results.
