A modified resistive power divider (RPD) was proposed by Owen and this structure has been shown to have higher isolation than a conventional RPD. However, it has a large insertion loss, which is a disadvantage. No theoretical studies have been published since Owen proposed this unique structure with specific resistor values. Thus far, the improvement of insertion loss has been achieved by trial and error to optimize performance by varying the resistor values. In this study, we perform a circuit analysis of the Owen's RPD and derive formulae to calculate performance. From the measured results, we demonstrate the validity of the derived formulae and show that the insertion loss could be improved by trade‐offs between performance.

欧文电阻式功率分配器的公式推导和优化设计

Owen提出了一种改进的电阻式功率分配器（RPD），该结构已显示出比传统RPD更高的隔离度。但是，插入损耗大，这是不利的。自Owen提出具有特定电阻值的独特结构以来，尚未发表任何理论研究。到目前为止，通过反复试验可以实现插入损耗的改善，以通过改变电阻值来优化性能。在这项研究中，我们对欧文的RPD进行了电路分析，并得出了计算性能的公式。从测量结果中，我们证明了导出公式的有效性，并表明可以通过在性能之间进行权衡来改善插入损耗。
