Abstract: An integrated N-way Wilkinson power divider is described. In one embodiment, the N-way Wilkinson power divider uses a conductor layer with a cross-over (or cross-under) resistor insulated from the conducting layer by an insulating bridge. In one embodiment, the width of the transmission line underneath a cross-over resistor is adjusted to improve performance In one embodiment, a three-way Wilkinson power divider is formed using microstrip transmission lines on a single-layer substrate that supports the microstrip transmission lines, dielectric insulators, and resistors.

Abstract: An attenuator is provided which includes a first conductive path having a coupling section and configured to receive a signal. The attenuator further provides a coupling section configured to attenuate the signal to produce an attenuated signal and positioned adjacent to the coupled line section of the first conductive path. A second conductive path is also provided having a coupled line section positioned adjacent to the coupling section and configured to transmit the attenuated signal. A first resistor is connected to the first conductive path and configured to dissipate power from the signal and to provide termination at the system's characteristic impedance. A second resistor is connected to the second conductive path and configured to dissipate power from the attenuated signal and to provide termination at the system's characteristic impedance.
