A wide‐stopband Wilkinson power divider with bandpass response and good isolation is presented. A 3‐terminal, 2‐pole bandpass filter and two 3‐pole lowpass filters are used to replace the two quarter‐wavelength transformer in a conventional Wilkinson power. The divider consists of two shorted‐circuited half‐wavelength stepped‐impedance resonators and two 3‐pole microstrip stepped‐impedance lowpass filters. Thus, the divider achieves not only a bandpass response but also a very wide stopband. For the upper stopband performance, the rejection level is >10 dB up to 22.2 times the centre frequency.
