Abstract A miniaturized dual‐band Wilkinson power divider is designed and proposed using coupled transmission lines. The main part of the component consists of a microstrip hairpin resonator, which is implemented in a way to provide an artificial inductor and a capacitor between the two output ports. A lucid equivalent circuit model is synthesized for this model. To optimize the performance of the power divider, electromagnetic simulation has been used to tune its dimensions. The simulated and measured results are in good agreement. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 53:676–679, 2011; View this article online at wileyonlinelibrary.com.
