- Abstract
Abstract: A novel wideband power divider with ultra‐wideband suppression of harmonics is proposed in this paper. The power divider is composed of double‐sided parallel spoof surface plasmon polaritons transmission line (DSP‐SSPP‐TL) with periodical grooved bow‐tie cells. The cut‐off frequency of DSP‐SSPP‐TL can be flexibly adjusted by changing the parameters of bow‐tie cells. To demonstrate that, dispersion relations of the bow‐tie cells with different parameters are simulated, and three DSP‐SSPP‐TL counterparts are experimented. Then, a power divider centered at 3.31 GHz (<italic>f</italic>0) is designed, fabricated, and measured. Experimental results indicate that the 10‐dB return loss bandwidth of the proposed power divider is about 146% from 0.9 to 5.73 GHz, and the upper stopband is extended up to 40 GHz (12.1 <italic>f</italic>0) with the suppression level above 32 dB. Moreover, ultra‐wideband isolation between two output ports of the proposed power divider could be achieved by employing two lumped resistors between two DSP‐SSPP‐TLs.
