The cutoff of filter -3dB down at the frequency of 9.0926 GHz to 9.5255 GHz and the bandwidth of passband is 432.9 MHz. The value of return loss on each port S 11 -S 22 at 9.3GHz is -20,4669 dB. The proposed design of bpf module with N=14 is depicted in Figure 4. The values of parameter in this filter design as follows: S t = 0.25 mm; S t1 = 0.25 mm; y 1 = 0.25 mm; y 2 = 0.2 mm; y 3 = 0.4 mm; y 4 = 0.25 mm; a = 3.343 mm; b = 7.9 mm; w s = 1.55 mm; s s = 0.4 mm; ᴓ r = 0.5 mm; w st = 2.3 mm; l st =3.25 mm; w = 12.75 mm; l = 14.386 mm; h = 0.51 mm. Figure 5. Simulation Result S-Parameter of Band Pass Filter N=14 BPF by using pole N=14 is produces a bandwidth about 2.2332 GHz shown by the value under -15dB -15dB is depicted on Figure 5. The cutoff of filter -3dB down at the frequency of 9.1795 GHz to 9.463 GHz and the bandwidth of passband is 283.5 MHz. The value of return loss on each port S 11 -S 22 at 9.3GHz is -16.16651 dB. BPF with different pole N = 10 and 14 produce a different characteristics, the more of poles N is smaller bandwidth, this can be proved BPF with N = 14, resulting smaller bandwidth compared to BPF with N = 10. In the compact integration module, BPF used pole N = 10 in terms of the return loss is better than BPF with pole N = 14

2.2. The 2-way Wilkinson Power Divider Design and Simulation

The 2-way Wilkinson Power Divider WPD usually work at quarter-wavelength transmission line λg4 section at the design center frequency and Wilkinson power consists of two quarter-wavelength line segments at the center frequency f c with characteristic impedance Z o , and a 2Z o lumped resistor connected between the output ports [11]. From the explanation can be seen that the type of power divider has four sections as follows [12]: 1. Input port 2. Quarter-wave transformers 3. Isolation resistors 4. Output ports Figure 6.

Based on Figure 6, the 2-way WPD has some ideal parameters that can be implemented into a microstrip transmission line. We designed the 2-way WPD with 9.3 GHZ Fc, Z o = 50Ω and deploy isolation resistor R1= 100 Ω between 2 port output. a b Figure 7. a Layout for Simulation 2-way WPD, b Field Simulation result The design of 2-Way WPD depicted in Figure 7. The values of parameter in this filter design as follows: S w1 = 5.5 mm; S w2 = 6 mm; S w3 = 2 mm; l st = 0.9 mm; R 1 = 4.8 mm; R w = 8 mm; S l1 = 1.5 mm, w = 14 mm; l = 29.6 mm; h = 0.51 mm. Figure 8. Simulation Result Return Loss of 2-Way WPDS 11 , S 22 , S 33 The result of this simulation contains graphs of the return loss, insertion loss and isolation of the proposed design of 2-way WPD. From the simulation result, the input S 11 red line and output port S 22 green line S 33 blue line depicted in Figure 8 have a good return loss is less than -28 dB this is indicating less than 0.158 of the power is reflected back. Figure 9 show the bandwidth of 2-way WPD is about 2 GHz categorized as wide band. These specifications do not meet to apply on our radar, which requires a bandwidth of 60-150 MHz at Fc 9.3 GHz therefore the output port needs to add a narrowband BPF. Figure 9 show the insertion loss, reverse transmission line S 12 red line S 13 green line showed that this device as combiner have equal power with transmission loss about -3.183 dB, it’s indicate the signal power will be transmitted only have a loss approximately 0.183 dB. The graph also show for forward transmission line S 21 blue line S 31 yellow line showed that this device as power divider have equal power with transmission loss about -3.192dB, its indicate the signal power will be transmitted only have a loss approximately 0.192 dB from ideal split  ISSN: 1693-6930 TELKOMNIKA Vol. 15, No. 1, March 2017 : 227 – 237 232 power of 2-Way WPD is. This 2 Way WPD have a good insertion loss refers to calculation 10 log 2 the number of ports divided. Figure 9. Simulation Result Insertion Loss S 12 , S 13 , S 21 , S 31 Figure 10.

The isolation value of the proposed design is enough to prevent cross-talk between the both output ports.
