I am looking simple method to design 1*16 microstrip power divider for wideband (impedance bandwidth 5GHz) at 30GHz. Please suggest me easy method to design power divider for wideband applications.
Thank you very much

You can use active divider composed of emitter follower or source follower transistors connected in parallel. Every emitter follower has matching function to transform 50 ohm output resistance to 50 x16=800 ohm.
This will be a very wide band divider consisting of 16 emitter followers connected in parallel. The input will be capacitively coupled.
Best wishes
Hello Sir,
Greeting of the Day.
Regarding this I think you can use simple micro-strip patch power divider. By using wilkinson power divider you can design a 1x16 Power divider. I am here attaching link of two paper.
Ding Y, Zhang Y, Fusco V. Fourier Rotman lens enabled directional modulation transmitter. International Journal of Antennas and Propagation. 2015;2015.
Shabankareh MA, Arman E. Simulation and Fabrication of a Wilkinson 8-port Unequal Power Splitter. Universal Journal of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. 2019 Jan;6(1):23-30.
I hope it may help you.
Thank you very much.

Hello,
For Wideband operation, utilizing Grounded Co-planar waveguide can be the very good design technique resulting wideband operation, especially in the power divider design. There are lots of example and articles; one of them given in the below, if you want to check.
Article:"A Wideband CPW Ring Power Combiner With Low Insertion Loss and High Port Isolation"
It suggested that CPW with Ground plane power combiner concept can be efficiently tackle this problem. In Open literature many artical on the said topic is available which can be referred.
