This project describes the design, fabrication and testing of curve, taper and 90° bend power divider at 2.4GHz operating frequency. The divider network is designed using Advance Design Simulation (ADS) software by applying basic Wilkinson power divider design. The schematic is converted into layout before going to fabrication process on FR4 board and fabric materials. Each types of power divider is integrated to 1x2 array antenna that operated at same frequency as power divider for implementation stage. The project that had developed can improve electrical flow and surface current at the sharp end of array antenna’s feeding line. For various function of material, fabric material is used for flexibility and wearable application. Curve power divider has better performance compared to taper and bend. Fabric material has high performance compared to FR4 board and it is able to use for wearable application.
