Abstract

In this paper, the mathematical relationship between the dimensions of a waveguide power divider and return loss is discussed. The frequency at which the return loss reaches its maximum can be estimated based on the formula for the cavity resonator frequency. Build on this estimation method, a waveguide E-plane power divider design method is introduced. As an example, a V-band E-plane power divider for CubeSats inter-satellite communication was designed and optimized for additively manufacturing technology. The designed power divider was manufactured using stereolithography (SLA) and characterized electrically. The measured power divider reaches a return loss maximum at about 64.2GHz with a value of less than -35 dB.
