Error Analysis of a Variable-Power Divider

Abstract

Errors in the division of power by a variable-power divider using phase shifters and a pair of 3-dB couplers are determined as a function of an incorrect setting of the phase shifters. The insertion phase, of the phase shifters, is assumed to have a Gaussian distribution about the desired value and the resultant probability distribution of the power division is calculated. Curves are given for the probability that P sub A falls within a given error. These curves are computed from the probability density function of P sub A which is also shown graphically.
