Abstract: |
In order to improve the design efficiency of the wideband Wilkinson power combiner, the equations used for the design are based on the odd-even mode analysis method and the transmission line theory. Then the fitness function is derived, and the design parameters of power combiner are obtained by using the beetle antennae search (BAS) algorithm. The simulation model is established by HFSS according to the initial parameters to verify its feasibility. The BAS has obvious improvement in convergence accuracy and optimization efficiency when solving the fitness function compared with the particle swarm optimization(PSO). Finally, two X-band 4W GaN power amplifier chips are chosen to form a power combiner. It has a saturated output power greater than 6.8W and a combing efficiency better than 86% in the frequency range of 8.5GHz to 11GHz. The results validate the bandwidth and high combing efficiency of the Wilkinson power combiner. |
