A multilayer inphase power divider with ultra wideband behavior is presented. It has a compact size with an overall dimension of 20 mm × 30 mm. The proposed divider utilizes broadside coupling via a multilayer microstrip/slot configuration. The simulated and measured results show that the proposed device has 3.3 ± 0.3 dB insertion loss, about 20 dB return loss, and 10 dB isolation across the frequency band 3.1‐10.6 GHz. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
