By adding extra transmission lines between 90° transmission lines at an arbitrary phase angle from the input terminal, a modified Trantanella Wilkinson power divider with a simple layout is presented. Design equations for characteristic impedances and complex isolation components are derived from even‐ and odd‐mode analysis. Parallel and series RC circuits are chosen to realise the complex isolation components, and bandwidths are also discussed. For both parallel and series RC circuits, two experimental circuits were fabricated under the same conditions. The experimental results showed good agreement with the results of simulation.
