The narrow-side directional couplers constructed into substrate- integrated rectangular waveguide are employed to implement the proposed multi-way power divider/combiner. The design considerations of the multi-way power divider/combiner are introduced. One three-way power divider/combiner is designed and fabricated to demonstrate the validity of the proposed strategies. Good agreement between the experiments and the simulations can be observed, demonstrating 12% reflection bandwidth at -15dB and 10% isolation bandwidth at -20dB.}, keywords = {power combiners, Coupling factor, directional coupler, directional couplers, isolation, microwave power dividing/combining network, multiway microwave power dividing, power combining network, power dividers, substrate-integrated waveguide (SIW), substrate-integrated waveguide directional couplers}, }
