Abstract
A novel low-cost wideband coupled line power divider has been proposed using square type split ring resonator (SRR) to increase the bandwidth from 0.5 to 3.0 GHz. From the simulated structures using HFSS simulation tool with various SRR meta material, the best suitable SRR structure with minimum reflection coefficient is selected for proposed model to widen the bandwidth range. Also, the equivalent circuit of the SRR structure is derived using LC resonant circuit and calculate the inductance (L) and capacitance (C) values and analyze the mathematical model using MATLAB program to predict the L and C values. In the proposed work, the power divider is designed and fabricated with SRR structure and obtained the minimum reflection coefficient about −18 dB. The measured S parameters of hardware results are compared with simulated model results and found the bandwidth of the existing coupled line dual-band power divider operates at 1.1 and 2.2 GHz is improved to 0.5–3.5 GHz.
