Development of a Multilayered Hybrid Power Divider

Abstract

The paper proves a real possibility of designing the microwave electronic devices based on multilayer structures. The advantages of such design compared with a traditional application of the microstrip lines are demonstrated by an example of a hybrid microwave power divider (hybrid ring). The calculations of a multistructure-based hybrid ring presented in the paper allow forecasting a substantial decrease of the weight and size parameters for the microwave electronic devices. That provides their wide application in mobile and small-sized radio systems with a microwave informational channel. The weight and size problem is especially relevant for the devices like the various mobile on-board radars. This makes it possible to predict scientific and industrial relevance of the development.
