7-Port Divider

In this application, we simulate 7-port divider from 1.4 GHz to 1.6 GHz. This device is realized in microstrip technology, fed by probe with SMA connector at Tx port and the remaining 6 ports (Rx) are microstrip ports.

The model was made by using WIPL-D Pro as parametrized geometry (defining symbols, nodes, creating plates…). It is very simple process, but it takes a bit more time than the other possibilities (import of the DXF or any other geometry file, building the model in WIPL-D Pro CAD). The result is optimal mesh with minimum simulation time. The process is done more efficiently if the Copy/Layer manipulation is used.

A low number of frequency points is possible owing to built-in interpolation. In WIPL-D pro, even a 7-port divider is considered as electrically small structure. The number of unknowns and simulation time are minimum, so the simulation was carried out on regular desktop in just a couple of seconds.
