Wideband Multilayer Directional Coupler with Tight Coupling and High Directivity
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel, wideband, symmetrical, printed directional coupler is described, which has tight coupling and high directivity. The coupler consists of four interconnected strips printed in two layers. The dimensions of the strips are optimized to minimize the dispersion of propagating modes. Design data are provided for some typical practical cases. The theoretical results are verified experimentally. VC 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 54:2261–2267, 2012; View this article online at wileyonlinelibrary.com.

Design and Simulation of Microstrip Directional Coupler with Tight Structure and High Directivity*
The design of Cyclotron CYCHU-10 has been carried out at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST). Because of the low centre frequency (99MHz) of its RF system, we should choose suitable directional couplers for the RF system which is supposed to be highdirectivity and tight-structure. This paper analyzes and synthesizes kinds of directional couplers, especially microstrip structure...
متن کاملSensitivity Analysis of a Wideband Backward-wave Directional Coupler Using Neural Network and Monte Carlo Method (RESEARCH NOTE)
In this paper sensitivity analysis of a wideband backward-wave directional coupler due to fabrication imperfections is done using Monte Carlo method. For using this method, a random stochastic process with Gaussian distribution by 0 average and 0.1 standard deviation is added to the different geometrical parameters of the coupler and the frequency response of the coupler is estimated. The appli...
متن کاملAnalysis and Design of an Ultra Wideband Directional Coupler
Abstract—In this paper, a novel wideband directional coupler using coplanar waveguide multilayer slot-coupled technique is presented and implemented. The coupler uses two coplanar waveguide lines etched on two layers and coupled through an hexagonal slot etched on the common ground plane located between these layers. Firstly, conformal mapping techniques were used to obtain analytic closed-form...
متن کاملDevelopment of Forward-wave Directional Couplers Loaded by Periodic Shunt Shorted Stubs
In this paper a new procedure for designing forward-wave directional couplers using periodic shunt short circuited stubs is proposed. A new type of cell using these stubs, which enlarge the phase difference between even- and odd modes of a uniform microstrip coupled line is introduced. Using the equivalent circuit model for even- and odd-modes of the proposed cell, the elements of the ABCD tra...
متن کاملHigh Directivity Microstrip Coupler Using Variable Width Structure
A method to improve the directivity of the microstrip coupler is presented. The width of the coupler is modified for phase velocity compensation which results in high directivity. Using this procedure, a 15 dB coupler is designed and simulated at 0.9 GHz using SONNET software. A high directivity of 46 dB is obtained. The validity of the design concept is verified and compared with conventional ...
