Prerana Chowdary YerneniReview Paper Summary: The main objective of this paper was to design an equally divided triple-band power divider circuit . Introduction: With the advancement of technologies, the concentration on transceivers is increasing. Transceivers operate at various frequencies. The author uses the Wilkinson power divider (using a three-section transmission line transformer) that operates simultaneously at three different arbitrary frequencies to generate the required specifications. This condition of using three different frequencies versus using double frequencies makes this article publishable. This circuit operates in the frequency range 900 MHz - 2.3 GHz. Design concept: The operating frequencies f1, f2 and f3 are chosen such that the Wilkinson f1Even-odd analysis is performed and the values ​​of the impedances and of the corresponding lengths are found using the formulas given below: The circuit is designed such that it provides good matching and isolation (using three resistors) for the three selected frequencies by solving the simultaneous equations generated by: Solving the conductance values ​​of the above equation from which you can find the values ​​of the resistors. From the analysis the values ​​obtained are presented in table 1.Z1 Z2 Z3 R1 R2 R3 ϴ1 ϴ2 ϴ385.2 70.7 58.8 243 176 124 65.1 34.7 65.6L1 L2 L3 W1 W2 W3 Z0 T H37.8 19.9 37.17 1.3 1.93 50 ,017 1, 57 Table...... center of document...... figure 3: Conventional Wilkinson power divider circuit Figure 4: Results for the conventional circuit Figure 5: Proposed design for a 4-way Wilkinson power divider with triple equal band Figure 6: Results for the proposed design Figure (i): Basic block diagram of 4-way Wilkinson power divider using 3 -2 port Wilkinson power dividers References: [1] M.
