In the radar system, detection of objects with high accuracy is needed. Therefore, a low sidelobe antenna is needed to avoid interference from other detected targets. One method to suppress sidelobe antenna is by using unequal power divider with Chebyshev polynomial excitation coefficients. In this paper, we will discuss about the design and fabrication of Chebyshev Wilkinson power divider for 3 dimensional radar application. This research was conducted through 4 stages, namely design, simulation, fabrication and measurement. This power divider is realized in the form of a microstrip using Rogers R0-4003C (lossy) substrate with a thickness of 1,524 mm and a dielectric constant of 3.55. The simulation and measurement results are met the desired specifications, the operating frequency is at 3 GHz with a bandwidth of 200 MHz, the return loss is less than-10 dB, the insertion loss value is in accordance with Chebyshev, the isolation value of the port is less than-10 dB, and the unbalance phase is smaller than 2.5°. © 2020 IOP Publishing Ltd.
