Abstract
In this paper a method of moment based analysis of an H-plane 1:3p ower divider has been presented using Multi Cavity Modeling Technique (MCMT) in transmitting mode. Finally attempt has been made to improve the frequency response characteristic of the above mentioned waveguide circuit using a sorting post to diversify the power equally in all the ports. Codes have been written for analyzing the frequency response characteristic of the structure, mentioned above. Numerical data have been compared with the data obtained with laboratory measurement, and CST Microwave Studio simulation. In the present analysis global basis function has been used. The existence of cross polarization components of the field inside the waveguide structures if exists, have also been considered to obtain an accurate result. The proposed power divider has good agreement with the theoretical; CST microwave studio simulated data and measured data. The power divider can be used in the input at 9.8 GHz frequency band, over 800 MHz.
