为了满足天线阵波束赋形对各单元天线输入功率不等分配的要求,基于Wilkinson功率分配器设计理论,详细推导并给出了任意功分比情况下隔离电阻的计算公式,补充了目前参考资料中对于直接多路输出功分器的设计指导。通过引入二分之一波长微带传输线,提出了一种微带结构的新型不等分功率分配器的设计方法。基于此方法,实现了一款应用于海事卫星通信天线阵馈电网络的功分比为1:2:1的三路不等分功分器。仿真和实测结果表明,功分器在工作频带范围内具有良好的性能指标。
In order to meet the requirements of input power unequal distribution to each antenna element in antenna array beam-forming, the formula of isolation resistor at any power dividing ratio is derived based on the design theory of Wilkinson power divider. The design method of a new type microstrip unequal power divider is proposed in this paper by the introduction of 1/2 A microstrip transmission line. The three-way unequal power divider with power ratio of 1:2:1 is designed, which is used in maritime satellite communication antenna array feeding network. The simulated and measured results show that the proposed power divider has a good performance within the operating frequency band.
