The novel ridge‐gap waveguide (RGW) technology which uses a full metal structure has many advantages in micro/mm‐wave frequencies such as low loss, broad bandwidth, low sensitivity to manufacturing errors, and easy integration with active components, and so forth. In this paper, a Ku‐band 3‐way Bagley polygon power divider (BPD) is proposed and experimentally demonstrated based on the RGW technology for the first time, to the best of our knowledge. An RGW‐toWR62 transition is also designed and fabricated. The proposed three‐way RGW‐based BPD with WR62 transitions shows low‐loss equal‐power division in phase with good impedance matching and isolation between output ports in the Ku band. The proposed RGW‐based BPD can be extended to an N‐way power divider.

利用脊隙波导技术实现的Bagley多边形功率分配器

使用全金属结构的新型脊隙波导（RGW）技术在微毫米波频率方面具有许多优势，例如低损耗，宽带宽，对制造误差的敏感性低以及易于与有源组件集成等。 。本文据我们所知，首次提出了基于RGW技术的Ku波段3路Bagley多边形功率分配器（BPD），并进行了实验演示。还设计和制造了RGW-toWR62过渡。拟议的具有WR62过渡的基于RGW的三路BPD显示出低损耗的同功率分相，具有良好的阻抗匹配和Ku频段输出端口之间的隔离。提议的基于RGW的BPD可以扩展到N路功率分配器。
