Three-Dimensional Electromagnetic Parametric Modeling and Implementation
of Miniaturized Lumped-Element PD Based on Symmetrical Configuration
Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) electromagnetic (EM) parametric modeling and
implementation of miniaturized lumped-element power divider (PD) based
on symmetrical configuration is investigated. The system design and
schematic diagrams of PDs are firstly demonstrated, subsequently, the 3D
EM field and field-circuit co-simulation models of PD utilizing computer
simulation technology (CST) and advanced design system (ADS) tools are
detailedly presented. Finally, one prototype is fabricated and measured.
Simultaneously, the gain of the PD is -3.96 dB @ 100 MHz and the
experimental curve is in excellent agreement with the simulation. As a
conclusion, the novel design methodology applied in PD has important
practical engineering value, which can be also applied in
millimeter-wave (mmW) circuit.
