Abstract A new three‐way power divider that provides equal power split over a wide bandwidth implemented on a single‐layer printed circuit board (PCB) is presented. It can be easily extended to an arbitrary number of output ports. The proposed power divider exhibits fairly good performance validated by measurement and simulation. Measured results show that the three output ports across the bandwidth from 1.8 to 10.5 GHz for 10 dB return loss are attainable. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
