From the above equations we can get Zin2 and Zin3 in terms of
Z0.
where
We know that if the characteristic impedances of the two arms
are R2 and R3, then, we can express the input impedances of
the ports in terms of the T matrix parameters and the
And characteristic impedance as follows

The above shown s-parameter graphs are schematic simulated
graphs. The first graph shows the reflection coefficients of
each port without the isolation resistor(R =106.066017). The
second graph is the same s-parameters, but with isolation

C. Experimental Results
The layout of the power divider is shown below. We can see
that the S11 is having high attenuation very near to 1.2GHz
and 2.2GHz of around -35dB.

CONCLUSION
In this paper, Dual Band Wilkinson Power divider without Reactive
Components was designed, simulated and implemented. The
two stubs in each arm are designed in two different ways in
layout and simulated out of which the better one is
implemented in hardware. In the frequency bands selected, we
see high reflection coefficients in each port. The power is
divided in the ratio 2:1. The measured and simulated results
show good similarity in characteristics, which shows that the
power divider can be of application in microwave circuits
