Microstrip Coupler with High Isolation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method to improve the isolation of the microstrip coupler is presented. The pattern of the coupler is modified for phase velocity compensation which results in high isolation. Using this procedure, a 15 dB coupler is designed and fabricated at 0.9 GHz. A high isolation of 63.3 dB is measured. The validity of the design concept is verified by simulations and measurements.

A Miniaturized Directional Coupler Using Complementary Split Ring Resonator and Dumbbell-Like Defected Ground Structure
A novel microstrip coupled-line directional coupler is proposed in this paper. It is based on the introduction of a complementary split ring resonator and dumbbell-like defected ground structure on the coupled lines to strongly enhance the designed backward coupling. The designed frequency band is from 1.2 to 1.5GHz. The coupler is fabricated and tested. The insertion loss is less than 3.5 dB. ...

A wideband microstrip forward-wave coupledline coupler with high coupling value is presented. Compared with the conventional edge-coupled microstrip forward-wave coupler, this symmetrical structure, consisting periodic shunt stubs between the two coupled-lines, achieves wider operating bandwidth and larger coupling level. To characterize this structure, the equivalent circuit model is establish...
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 ...
متن کاملA Miniaturized 3-dB Microstrip TRD Coupled-Line Rat-Race Coupler with Harmonics Suppression
A miniaturized microstrip rat-race coupler with harmonics suppression is proposed by using shorted trans-directional (TRD) coupled lines. The shorted TRD coupled lines consist of a set of capacitor-loaded λ/4 coupled microstrip lines with two shorts, which are used to replace the 3λ/4 uniform transmission-line section (UTLS) in the traditional 3λ/2 ring coupler for miniaturization. To attain pe...
متن کاملMicrostrip Coupler with Complementary Split-Ring Resonator (CSRR)
A novel microstrip Coupler with Complementary SplitRing Resonator (CSRR) is simulated and fabricated. The CSRR structure in the grounded plane of a conventional microstrip double-line coupler, increases its even mode characteristic impedance. This results in a higher degree of coupling. The results of simulation and measurement show that the new coupler achieves a high degree of coupling (5 dB ...
