Abstract

This paper analyses and compares two sub- 60GHz broadband and low-loss Wilkinson power combiners/dividers (WPCDs) based on transmission lines and lumped elements. Both WPCDs were implemented in a 22nm FDSOI CMOS technology. A two-stage WPCD based on lumped elements was fabricated and compared against the conventional transmission line based WPCD. The lumped element based WPCD enables an area reduction of 33%, while providing similar performance. Both WPCDs show a measured insertion loss (IL) of less than 2.2 dB, a return loss (RL) of better than 10dB and an amplitude and phase error of less than 0.12 dB and 2. 2o from DC up to 65 GHz. The port isolation (ISO) is better than 15 dB from 35 GHz to 60 GHz.
