A reconfigurable power-dividing scheme has been developed, employing coupled line couplers and mode control switches. Depending on the operating conditions of the switches, it provides two different operating states: two-way Wilkinson equal-split power divider or oneway signal path, which directs all input power to one output port. Input and output matching conditions at both operating modes were accomplished by utilising appropriate even-and odd-mode characteristic impedances of the coupled line coupler.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
