Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Authors have presented a study on A Novel Planar Power Divider/Combiner for Wideband High Power Applications. However, I will not recommend this paper in the current form because it has short some shortcoming. In order to improve this paper, my comments are given below.

1.       Abstract is too general, no novelty is discussed. Quantitative results are missing.

2.       There is no sufficient literature. add more literature and identify the research gap.

3.       Objective of the paper are missing.

4.       Results are not sufficient.

5.       Mythology is not given.

6.       In conclusion, quantitative results are missing.
