Realization of a planar dual-band fork three-way power divider (PDBF3PD) with Cheng's equivalent structure is discussed. The Cheng's structure consists of two open-circuited stubs and a transmission line, and the characteristic impedances tend to be high. As a result, the realizable range of frequency ratios of upper frequency to lower frequency is limited in a narrow area. In this paper, an impedance scale factor is proposed to transform characteristic impedances into a realizable range and to facilitate the design of PDBF3PDs. Theoretical considerations are verified using a simulator of ADS2008U and by an experiment.
