Modified Gysel Power Divider with Harmonic Supperssion Performance

This paper presents a modified Gysel power divider (PD) with harmonic suppression performance by utilizing equivalent Π-shaped, T-shaped and Π-T-hybrid-shaped open stubs transmission line (TL) models. Explicit closed-form expressions for generating parameters of the equivalent TL models are derived based on the ABCD matrix analysis. The proposed PD not only features suppression at the hoped harmonic frequencies and flexible layout, but also maintains Gysel PD's high power handling advantage. For demonstration, the simulated and experimental results of three proposed PDs at 1 GHz implemented on microstrip are given.
