Broad-Band Power Divider Based on the Novel Split Ring Resonators

A broad-band power divider, based on proposed novel split ring resonators, with the use of surface-mount components, is presented in this paper. This paper is focused on the design of generalized novel split ring resonators in a fully planar configuration. This novel split ring resonator exhibits multiple, alternating backward and forward-transmission bands, and is therefore promising for the synthesis of wideband microwave components. The equivalent circuit models, including parasitic parameters, of the structures is presented (based on electrically small planar resonators), the detailed procedure for the synthesis of these resonators by using the proposed circuit model, is illustrated. It is shown that excellent results in both performance and size can be obtained through the proposed approach, fully compatible with planar technology.
