The quarter&amp;ndash;wavelength microstrip lines in the conventional Wilkinson power divider (WPD) are replaced by oneeighth wavelength transmission line. Wilkinson power divider is designed using &amp;lambda;4 and &amp;lambda;8 transmission line. It has the operating frequency of 915 MHz which is used in the GSM standard. The proposed Wilkinson Power Divider is designed using the simulation tool Advanced Design System. The results of &amp;lambda;8 transmission line are very close to the results of &amp;lambda;4 transmission line. The isolation loss of &amp;lambda;8 transmission line is improved by introducing a capacitor between the output ports. The proposed Wilkinson power divider has the best return loss of greater than 10 dB and isolation loss of 15.25 dB. The &amp;lambda;8 transmission line Wilkinson power divider has the reduced size of 53.9 percentages than &amp;lambda;4 transmission line WPD. The proposed design has simple structure, better isolation loss and good insertion loss.</abstract> <index>Open Science Index 107, 2015</index> </article>
