Reconfigurable 1 x 4 Power Divider With Switched Impedance Matching Circuits

Abstract

This letter presents a reconfigurable 1 x 4 power divider operated at 2.45 GHz. The proposed circuit has four power transmission states and is designed mathematically to satisfy matching conditions for each state. The experimental results for the transmission losses for each state are 1.2 dB similar to 1.9 dB while the isolations for non-path ports are greater than 25 dB and the reflection coefficients for each power transmission state are less than -20 dB at the target frequency.
