Resistor resistance in Wilkinson divider¶
The Wilkinson divider is a device designed to divide the power of a microwave signal into two output ports. The microstrip version has one surface-mounted resistor. The resistance of this resistor depends on the resistance of the transmission line and the power ratio at the output ports.
