Impedance Matching Wilkinson Power Dividers in 0.35μm SiGe BiCMOS Technology
Kaymaksüt, Ercan and Gürbüz, Yaşar and Tekin, İbrahim (2008) Impedance Matching Wilkinson Power Dividers in 0.35μm SiGe BiCMOS Technology. (Accepted/In Press) AbstractThis paper presents two miniature Impedance Matching Wilkinson Power Divider
circuits in 0.35μm SiGe BiCMOS technology for on-chip power combining techniques for
WLAN applications. The Impedance Matching Wilkinson Power Divider circuits are used as
splitter/combiner for a 5.2 GHz fully integrated class-A mode combined power amplifier. The
splitter and combiner are designed to match the input and output impedances of the amplifier,
respectively, so that no additional impedance matching is needed. Two fabricated impedance
matching Wilkinson power divider circuits (splitter and combiner) have insertion losses better
than 1.4dB, return losses less than -13dB and port-to-port isolation > 12 dB at 5.2GHz. Available Versions of this ItemRepository Staff Only: item control page
