Strip Line Unequal High Power Divider With 1:12 Division Ratio

In this paper, a novel high power high ratio divider/combiner has been presented for low-side lobe antenna RADAR application. A high ratio of 1:12 has been achieved by using a multi-stage technique to keep 113 $\Omega$ as the highest impedance. While power handling capability has been achieved by using the strip-line technique with an appropriate height of 30 mm to handle more than 20 KW as input power, furthermore use a 7/16 connector with high power handling capability. In addition to that not using lumped components made the design more robust to the high power. The proposed design has been simulated using CST to get a wide operating frequency of about 20% fraction of bandwidth. The measured results have good agreement with the simulation ones.
