A meander line structure is utilized to acquire a power divider in compact size suitable to be installed in a UAV. The proposed power divider is deployed on a 1.6 mm thick FR-4 epoxy dielectric substrate with the length of 40.13 mm and the width of 33.55 mm. The design is characterized using simulation and measurement. The simulation results show that the proposed design achieves the return loss of 23.54 dB, the insertion loss of 3.37 dB, and the port isolation of 36.52 dB at the frequency of 433 MHz. Whereas the measured results demonstrate a good consistency to the simulated ones with the return loss of 19.05 dB, the insertion loss of 3.25 dB, and the port isolation of 26.53 dB. Both in the simulation and measurement, the proposed power divider shows a linear phase which means that the power divider has no distortions to the phase nonlinearity.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Dielectric substrates,Meander line structure,Measured results,Port isolation,Power divider,Simulations and measurements,Telemetry systems,Wilkinson power dividers[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]meander line,power divider,telemetry systems,Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) application,Wilkinson topology[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]This work is partially supported by the Aksantara, Institut Teknologi Bandung, Indonesia.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1109/Comnetsat50391.2020.9328980[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
