Design and implementation of driver amplifier for Wilkinson power divider operating at S band

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce an overview of microwave power transmission system (MPT) including of power transmitter, free space transmission, rectenna. Also, the paper particularly presents in detail the proposed configuration of power transmitter. The presented power amplifier, which has the output of 1W, is fabricated by using AH201. The 1-Watt amplifier plays an important role as driver amplifier in the configuration. In addition, the 4 – way Wilkinson divider/combiner has been designed and manufactured. All simulations and experimental results will be reported.
