A Complex Ratio Measuring Unit Using Enhanced Branch-line Coupler for Wireless Communication Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article presents the complex ratio measurement unit (CRMU) design formed by enhanced 3-dB branch-line couplers (BLCs), which are placed symmetrically. The first CRMU is formed by four wideband 3-dB BLCs implementing Defect Ground Structure (DGS) and stub impedance techniques that operate over the frequency of 2.5 to 4 GHz. Meanwhile, the other CRMU is formed by four reduced size of enhanced two-section microstrip-slot BLCs with tight coupling of 3-dB over frequency of 2 to 5 GHz. The performances of the CRMU designs are observed and analyzed. The BLCs and CRMUs are designed using CST Microwave Studio. While, the S-parameter performances of the CRMUs are analyzed using Keysight’s Advanced System (ADS) software.

A Novel Circularly polarized dielectric resonator antenna with Branch-Line Coupler and Log-Periodic Balun
A new shaped circularly polarized dielectric resonator antenna (CP DRA) is studied with branch-line coupler and log-periodic balun for the GPS application. Since the coupler and balun are located under the DRA, it does not increase the footprint of the antenna, as a result the system is very compact. Two configurations are considered in this paper. In the first configuration, an external 50Ω lo...
متن کاملDesign and Implementation of Multi-Band Hybrid Coupler with Arbitrary Power Division
Patch hybrid couplers are used to provide arbitrary power division ratio over two frequency bands. The coupler is designed using three main topologies. They are Branch-line, Coupled-line and Patch. Branch-line and Coupled-line provides equal power division ratio over two frequency bands. Patch structure provides arbitrary power division ratios. The patch hybrid coupler is the rapid development ...

متن کاملAn Energy Efficient Clustering Method using Bat Algorithm and Mobile Sink in Wireless Sensor Networks
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) consist of sensor nodes with limited energy. Energy efficiency is an important issue in WSNs as the sensor nodes are deployed in rugged and non-care areas and consume a lot of energy to send data to the central station or sink if they want to communicate directly with the sink. Recently, the IEEE 802.15.4 protocol is employed as a low-power, low-cost, and low rat...
