Abstract
In this paper, we present an effective technique of second and third harmonic suppression for a Wilkinson power divider by using an asymmetric spiral defected ground structure (DGS). With the proposed technique, a single asymmetric DGS provides two different resonance frequencies because of the different sizes of spiral-shaped defects on the ground plane. The transfer function of the asymmetric DGS shows signal rejection characteristics at two different resonance frequencies and the characteristics of asymmetric DGS is modeled by two parallel RLC resonance circuits in cascade. With the insertion of asymmetric spiral DGS into a quarter-wave line of the Wilkinson power divider, the second and third harmonics are suppressed simultaneously. In experimental results, 18-dB suppression for the second harmonic and 15-dB suppression for the third harmonic, respectively, are achieved. Using asymmetric DGS, the size of a quarter-wave line is reduced by 9.1% compared to that of the conventional divider without a DGS.Keywords
