Compact Branch Line Coupler using Step Impedance Transmission Lines (SITLs)
关键词:
Branch line, compact, coupler, step impedance transmission line摘要
A compact branch line coupler is proposed by using the optimized step impedance transmission lines (SITLs). The proposed branch line coupler has an area reduction of more than 50% at 1 GHz. The measured results of the fabricated coupler are in good agreement with the simulation results.
