A technique for realising a compact frequency‐selectable dual‐band Wilkinson divider/combiner is presented in this study. To provide a frequency‐selection function, the band‐pass transmission‐line transformer (TLT) in a dual‐band device is replaced with a tuneable band‐reject TLT. To realise this tuneable device, a variable capacitively loaded spur‐line filter is proposed for its compact size. The theory based on an ideal transmission‐line circuit is developed to provide a design procedure. The proposed circuits are demonstrated with simulated and measured results of a Wilkinson divider/combiner fabricated on FR4 substrate.
