A Simple and General Method for Filtering Power Divider With Frequency-Fixed and Frequency-Tunable Fully Canonical Filtering-Response Demonstrations

This paper proposes a general method to design the power divider (PD) with the arbitrary filtering response. The proposed model allows coupling matrix-based filter synthesis to be adopted in the Wilkinson PD (W-PD) design so that two-order, high-order, single-band, multiband, frequency-fixed, and frequency-tunable responses are all available for the W-PD. Meanwhile, benefiting from the generalized W-PD topology, the general model can be employed...
