Model Wilkinson Power Divider
Use the Divider block to design a 1:4 Wilkinson power divider. You can use the Number of divider outports parameter in the block to design a Wilkinson power divider with up to 65 ports. You can also design a Wilkinson power divider that works as a combiner by reversing the inputs and outputs.
Open the model and observe that the three input carrier frequencies are set to
[0 3 5]
MHz in the Sinusoid block.Run the model.
In the setup in this model, the output waveform is out of phase with the input. The output magnitude is
Vout
=Vin
/sqrt(N), where N is the number of outputs. The other waveformsVin_Q
are noise added and transmitted by the system. Add or delete load resistors or Outport blocks, rerun the simulation, and check the magnitude of the outputs.
