N2 - A novel planar three-way power divider is proposed. Based on the conventional planar microstrip coupled line technology, the proposed three-way power divider can modify a three-way Wilkinson power divider from a three-dimensional configuration into a two-dimensional one, meanwhile, to keep the length of the circuit to be λ/4. The planar structure enables easy circuit design in printed circuit boards and monolithic microwave integrated circuits. The design concept and implementation are discussed. From the measured results, less than 4.8±0.1 dB of the three equivalent insertion losses, less than 19.5 dB of the return loss, and better than 17.5 dB of isolation at 2.4 GHz can be achieved.
