Abstract

A very compact power divider concept in rectangular waveguide technology is presented, whereby the divider can basically be adapted to the required number of outputs. A 1-to-9 divider is shown as an example in this article. This novel divider concept is particularly suitable for applications with special requirements in terms of weight and space, such as miniature satellites, i.e. CubeSats. It is intended to be placed between the power amplifier and the phase shifter. The phase shifters are also designed as waveguides, thus avoiding conventional multi-stage dividers. The use of a quasi sector horn-shaped structure results in a very light weight and compact component. Additive manufacturing of the plastic base body with subsequent metalization and the slotted waveguide technology also ensure considerable weight savings.
