N-way microwave power divider using two-dimensional meta-materials

Abstract

An N-way power divider based upon meta-materials is presented. The divider essentially comprises a two-dimensional mosaic of both right-handed and lefthanded four-port unit cells. The power divider is square shaped and this allows ease of integration with amplifiers. The feasibility of the proposed divided is demonstrated by the simulation of a 20-way divider operating at 1 GHz
