This article proposes the stepped impedance line Wilkinson power divider (SIL WPD) and extracts the design formulae of SIL WPD. In the process of forming the WPD and executing a simulation based on the calculated design parameters, this study found that the SIL WPD improves stop‐band performance compared to the conventional one. In addition, it is useful in reducing the size due to the characteristics of SIL. Finally, the consistency of the simulated and measured results confirmed the validity of the SIL structure. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 58:1607–1610, 2016
