3. WILKINSON UNEQUAL
POWER DIVIDER
AIM:
Aim of the task is to verify the different characteristics of 3-port transmission
network by verifying the parameters s11, s21, s31, s23 (in dB) for unequal power divider
TOOL USED:

AWR microwave software

RESULT:-

The Wilkinson unequal power divider circuit has been simulated for an operating
frequency of 3.2GHz.the reflection coefficient has been analysed .we observe that for an
unequal power divider
1) S22S33
2) RECIPROCAL:-S12=S21, S13=S31, S23=S32
3) LOSSLESS PROPERTY:-S112+S212+S312=0.958
