dc.description.abstract-translatedIn the design of a microstrip power divider, there are some important factors, including harmonic suppression, insertion loss, and size reduction, which affect the quality of the final product. Thus improving each of these factors contributes to a more efficient design. In this respect, a hybrid technique to reduce the size and improve the performance of a Wilkinson power divider (WPD) is introduced in this paper. The proposed method includes a typical series LC circuit, a miniaturizing inductor, and two transmission lines, which make an LC branch. Accordingly, two quarter-wavelength branches of the conventional WPD are replaced by two proposed LC branches. Not only does this modification lead to a 100% size reduction, an infinite number of harmonics suppression, and highfrequency selectivity theoretically, but it also results in a noticeable performance improvement practically compared to using quarter-wavelength branches in the conventional microstrip power dividers. The main important contributions of this technique are extreme size reduction and harmonic suppression for the implementation of a filtering power divider (FPD). Furthermore, by tuning the LC circuit, the arbitrary numbers of unwanted harmonics are blocked while the operating frequency, the stopband bandwidth, and the operating bandwidth are chosen optionally. The experimental result verifies the theoretical and simulated results of the proposed technique and demonstrates its potential for improving the performance and reducing the size of other similar microstrip components.en
