Equal Filtering Power Divider for WIFI Application

Power dividers are used in microwave applications to split or divide a channel into two or more channels of the same frequency. The split channels can be of equal power or nonequal power. The divided power can then pass-through filtering process to its intended destination. Conventionally, this is done using a T-junction and transmission line when connecting the power divider and the filters as well as directing the frequency. This leads to the degradation of the signal due to the inclusion of 50 Ω ports and cables used in linking the power divider and the filtering elements. To avoid such degradation, the inclusion of the filtering elements and the power divider during the design process is a solution as it eliminates the 50 Ω ports and the connecting cables. The technique used here eliminated the degradation and further reduced the size with good filtering response.
