Wilkinson power divider Basic conceptInput port 1 matched, port 2 and port 3 have equal potential 2Z 0 , λ 4Input port 2, port 1 and port 3 have perfect isolationlossy, matched and good isolation (equal phase) three-port dividerMassachusetts Institute of TechnologyRF Cavities and Components for AcceleratorsUSPAS 201010

Wilkinson power divider The Wilkinson power divider has these advantages:1. It is lossless when output ports are matched.2. Output ports are isolated.3. It can be designed to produce arbitrary power division.Port 2λ/4Port 12Z 0Z0Z0Film resistorR 2Z0Z02Z 0λ/4 2Z 0 2Z b aPort 1Z0Massachusetts Institute of Technology 0Port 2Port 3Z0R 2Z0Z0RF Cavities and Components for AcceleratorsPort 3USPAS 201011

Wilkinson power divider If we inject a TEM mode signal at port 1, equal in-phase signals reachpoints a and b. Thus, no current flows through the resistor, and equalsignals emerge from port 2 and port 3. The device is thus a 3dB powerdivider. Port 1 will be matched if the λ/4 sections have a characteristicimpedance 2Z 0 . If we now inject a TEM mode signal at port 2, with matched loads placedon port 1 and on port 3, the resistor is effectively grounded at point b. Equalsignals flow toward port 1, and down into the resistor, with port 2 seeing amatch. Half the incident power emerges from port 1 and half is dissipated inthe resistor film. Similar performance occurs when port 1 and port 2 are terminated inmatched loads, and a TEM mode signal is injected at port 3. If we choose the terminal planes at 1.0 wavelengths from the three Teejunctions, the scattering matrix is 01 [S ] j2 jMassachusetts Institute of TechnologyRF Cavities and Components for Accelerators j00 j 0 0 USPAS 201012

Bethe-Hole Directional CouplerThis the simplest form of a waveguide directional coupler. A small hole in thecommon broad wall between two rectangular guides provides 2 wave componentsthat add in phase at the coupler port, and are cancelled at the isolation port.3yCoupling etts Institute of TechnologyRF Cavities and Components for AcceleratorsUSPAS 201016

If the holes are small, there isonly a small fraction of the power coupled through to the upper guide so thatwe can assume that the wave amplitude incident on all holes is essentiallyunity. The hole n causes a scattered wave Fn to propagate in the forwarddirection, and another scattered wave Bn to propagate in the backwarddirection.

Bethe-Hole Directional CouplerConsider the following design problem:Given a desired coupling level C, how do we design the coupler so that the directivity D isabove a value Dmin over a specified frequency band? N FnNote that if the coupling C is specified, thenis known.n 0We now assume that either (1) the holes scatter symmetrically (e.g. they areon the common narrow wall between two identical rectangular guides) or (2)holes scatter asymmetrically (e.g. they are on the centerline of the commonbroad wall, i.e. s a/2 ).
