Design of seven‐way Bagley power divider with arbitrary output power ratio

Abstract

An exact design for seven-way Bagley power divider (7-way BPD) is introduced. The objective of this article is to derive general closed-form expressions for the impedances between adjacent ports for unequal-split 7-way BPD. The values of the impedances control the output power ratio. Full derivation of S-parameters followed by exact impedance equations will be presented. A parametric study in addition to several examples will be given to validate the proposed derivation
