Authors’ Reply to “Comments on ’Design of a Planar Dual-Band Power Divider With Arbitrary Power Division and a Wide Isolated Frequency Band”’

We greatly appreciate the comments on our original work by Sinha. There are typos for [1, (1)-(3)]. The equations should be corrected as
\begin{align*} A=&D=-\frac {Z_{o} -(Z_{e} +Z_{o} )\cos ^{2}\theta }{Z_{o} +(Z_{e} -Z_{o} )\cos ^{2}\theta } \\ B=&\frac {jZ_{e} Z_{o} \sin 2\theta }{Z_{o} +(Z_{e} -Z_{o} )\cos ^{2}\theta } \\ C=&\frac {j\sin 2\theta }{Z_{o} +(Z_{e} -Z_{o} )\cos ^{2}\theta }. \end{align*}
Consequently, two connected Schiffman phase shifters are employed to provide a phase shift of 180° at
$f_{0}$
. When operated within the first passband
$f_{1}$
, the electrical length
$\theta $
of each Schiffman phase shifter will be less than 90°. Therefore, with
$\vert S_{11}\vert = 0$
and
$\vert S_{21}\vert = 1$
,
$Z_{e}$
and
$Z_{o}$
