) The input and output minimum detectable signal levels in mW for the receiver at room temperature.Figure 7 Receiver System3. Wilkinson’s Power Divider and Power CombinerWilkinson Power Combiner (WPC) is a 3-port network device often made using Microstrip lines. For 3-dBdevice operation, port isolation is achieved using quarter-wave transmission lines acting as microstrip armsfollowed by balancing these arms (output ports) using a balanced resistance with respect to the input port.Figure 8. Power Coupler with Power Divider and Power CombinerFigure 9. Geometry of Wilkinson’s Power CombinerFig. 9 shows WPC structure whose analysis is made with Even-Odd mode coupling techniques that usessuperposition theorem and network symmetry to deduce the
