            Abstract : 
Although characteristics of bilateral finline as a transmission line have been studied in detail, the behaviour of this structure as a coupler has not received much attention so far. The letter represents a study of phase constants and characteristic impedances of the even and odd modes of bilateral finlines as couplers, leading to the exposition of some useful design information.
