Power dividers and power combiners are passive microwave components for power dividing and power combining. In this article one T-split equal power divider has been designed by using conventional 50 Ω microstrip line and double ended spur line renamed as defected microstrip structures (DMS). Introducing DMS provides one stop band characteristics, changes the effective inductance and capacitance of the line by increasing effective dielectric constant, reduces the phase velocity and supports slow-wave propagation. Thus, increases the effective line impedance of the microstrip line. Consequently, all passive and active components that are implemented using DMS have a miniaturized size compared to conventional components. In this paper one 3 dB or equal power divider has been designed at 1.6 GHz in the first step. Where, 100 Ω output line is implemented using double ended spur type DMS on conventional 50 Ω microstrip line. In the second step each output port power has been divided equally into 6 dB in the next level of the branch. Design of those dividers are very simple and have wide applications in microwave circuits and feeds of array antennas.
