    This document discusses power dividers and couplers. Power dividers divide an input signal into multiple output signals of lower power. Couplers combine multiple input signals into a single output port. Three-port networks like T-junctions are used as power dividers to split power equally in two outputs. Four-port networks like directional couplers can divide power arbitrarily between output ports. Directional couplers have parameters like coupling factor, directivity and insertion loss. Problems are provided to calculate output powers given input power and coupler parameters. Analysis of Wilkinson power dividers using even and odd mode is also discussed.

    POWER DIVIDERS AND


    COUPLERS
    Introduction
    Power Dividers Couplers
    In power division, an input signal is power coupler accepts two or more
    divided into two (or more) output input signals and combines them at
    signals of lesser power. an output port.
    Three-port networks take the form of Four-port networks take the form of
    T-junctions and other power dividers directional couplers and hybrids
    Power dividers usually provide in- Directional couplers can be designed
    phase output signals with an equal for arbitrary power division, while
    power division ratio (3 dB), but hybrid junctions usually have equal
    unequal power division ratios are power division. Hybrid junctions have
    also possible. either a 90◦ or a 180◦ phase shift
    between the output ports.
    Circulator
    Three-Port Networks (T-Junctions)
    • The simplest type of power divider is a T-junction, which is a three-port network with two inputs and one
    output. The scattering matrix of an arbitrary three-port network has nine independent elements:

    If the device is passive and contains no anisotropic materials, then it must be reciprocal and its scattering matrix will be
    symmetric (Si j = Sji ).
    If all ports are matched, then Sii = 0, and if the network is reciprocal, the scattering matrix reduces to

    • If the network is also lossless, then energy conservation requires that


    the scattering matrix satisfy these conditions:
    Power Division (3-port network)
    Four-Port Networks (Directional
    Couplers)
    The s- matrix for a 4-port network is given by Satisfying the unitary condition for a lossless network

    It is customary to choose S12, S34, S13, S24 as

    • Further application of unitary condition yields:       2n


    • Letting n = 0, there are 2 choices that is commonly
    used in practice.
    •  =  = /2:  = 0,  = :

    1. Asymmetric Coupler:  =  = π/2

    2. Antisymmetric Coupler:  = 0,  = π
    Few Problems
    •A 20dBm power source is connected to the input of a directional coupler having a coupling factor of 20dB, a directivity of
    35dB and an insertion loss of 0.5dB. If all ports are matched, find the output power (in dBm) at the through, coupled and
    isolated ports.

    •A directional coupler has the scattering matrix given below. Find the return loss, coupling factor, directivity and
    insertion loss. Assume that the ports are terminated in matched loads.
