Abstract :
This paper presents the study of reflection losses in a tuned 8 port power divider with circular and square slotted Electromagnetic Bandgap structures (EBG) by varying the dimensions of the slots as well as the transmission lines. Further, the tuning feature makes the proposed power divider not only compact but also to work at S, C, X and the upper Ku bands by introducing periodic structures and thus enhancing the bandwidth with less reflection losses. Various parameters like reflection coefficient, insertion loss of the tuned EBG power divider are studied by varying the number of slots in the ground plane using Agilent Advanced Design System 2009 and 2016 simulators respectively.
