  1. ECE 5317-6351 Microwave Engineering Fall 2011 Prof. David R. Jackson Dept. of ECE Notes 19 Power Dividers and Couplers Part 1

  2. Three-port networks Power Dividers and Directional Couplers General 3-port:

  3. Power Dividers and Directional Couplers (cont.) For all ports matched, reciprocal, and lossless: Not physically possible (There are three distinct values.) Lossless  [S] is unitary These cannot all be satisfied. (If only one is nonzero, we cannot satisfy all three.)  At least 2 of S13, S12, S23must be zero. (If only one is zero (or none is zero), we cannot satisfy all three.)

  4. Power Dividers and Directional Couplers (cont.) Now consider a 3-port network that is non-reciprocal, all ports matched, and lossless: “Circulator” These equations will be satisfied if: (There are six distinct values.) 1 2 Lossless or Note that Sij Sji.

  5. Circulators Clockwise (LH) circulator 1 2 Note: We have assumed here that the phases of all the S parameters are zero. Circulators can be made using biased ferrite materials. Counter clockwise (RH) circulator

  6. Power Dividers T-Junction: lossless divider If we match at port 1, we cannot match at the other ports!

  7. Power Dividers (cont.) Assuming port 1 matched: We can design the splitter to control the powers into the two output lines.

  8. Power Dividers (cont.) For each port we have:

  9. Power Dividers (cont.) Also, we have

  10. Power Dividers (cont.) If port 1 is matched: The output ports are not isolated.

  11. Power Dividers (cont.) Powers: Hence

  12. Power Dividers (cont.) Summary • The input port is matched, but not the output ports. • The output ports are not isolated.

  13. Power Dividers (cont.) Example: Microstrip T-junction power divider

  14. Resistive Power Divider Same for Zin1 and Zin2  All ports are matched.

  15. Resistive Power Divider (cont.) By reciprocity and symmetry

  16. Resistive Power Divider (cont.) Hence we have All ports are matched, but 1/2 Pinis dissipated by resistors, and the output ports are not isolated.

  17. Even-Odd Mode Analysis (This is needed for analyzing the Wilkenson.) Obviously, Example: We want to solve for V. using even/odd mode analysis “even” problem “odd” problem

  18. Even-Odd Mode Analysis (cont.) “Even” problem

  19. Even-Odd Mode Analysis (cont.) “Odd” problem short circuit (SC) plane of symmetry

  20. Even-Odd Mode Analysis (cont.) “odd” problem “even” problem By superposition:

  21. Wilkenson Power Divider Equal-split (3 dB) power divider • All ports matched (S11 = S22 = S33 = 0) • Output ports are isolated (S23 = S32 = 0) Note: No power is lost in going from port 1 to ports 2 and 3. Obviously not unitary

  22. Wilkenson Power Divider (cont.) Example: Microstrip Wilkenson power divider

  23. Wilkenson Power Divider (cont.) • Even and odd analysis is required to analyze structure when port 2 is excited.  To determine • Only even analysis is needed to analyze structure when port 1 is excited.  To determine The other components can be found by using symmetry and reciprocity.

  24. Wilkenson Power Divider (cont.) Top view A microstrip realization is shown. Split structure along plane of symmetry (POS) Even  voltage even about POS  place OC along POS Odd  voltage odd about POS  place SC along POS

  25. Wilkenson Power Divider (cont.) How do you split a transmission line? (This is needed for the even case.) top view Voltage is the same for each half of line (V) Current is halved for each half of line (I/2) (magnetic wall) Z0microstrip line For each half

  26. Wilkenson Power Divider (cont.) “Even” Problem Note: The 2Z0 resistor has been split into two Z0 resistors in series. Ports 2 and 3 are excited in phase.

  27. Wilkenson Power Divider (cont.) “Odd” problem Note: The 2Z0 resistor has been split into two Z0 resistors in series. Ports 2 and 3 are excited 180o out of phase.

  28. Wilkenson Power Divider (cont.) Even Problem Port 2 excitation Port 2

  29. Wilkenson Power Divider (cont.) Odd Problem Port 2 excitation Port 2

  30. Wilkenson Power Divider (cont.) We add the results from the even and odd cases together: Note: Since all ports have the same Z0, we ignore the normalizing factor Z0in the S parameter definition. In summary,

  31. Wilkenson Power Divider (cont.) Port 1 excitation Port 1 When port 1 is excited, the response, by symmetry, is even. (Hence, the total fields are the same as the even fields.) Even Problem

  32. Wilkenson Power Divider (cont.) Even Problem Port 1 excitation Hence

  33. Wilkenson Power Divider (cont.) Even Problem Port 1 excitation Along g/4 wave transformer: (reciprocal)

  34. Wilkenson Power Divider (cont.) For the other components: By symmetry: By reciprocity:

  35. Wilkenson Power Divider (cont.) All three ports are matched, and the output ports are isolated.

  36. Wilkenson Power Divider (cont.) • When a wave is incident from port 1, half of the total incident power gets transmitted to each output port(no loss of power). • When a wave is incident from port 2 or port 3, half of the power gets transmitted to port 1 and half gets absorbed by the resistor, but nothing gets through to the other output port.
