Title :
Design Principles for Higher (Prime) Order Composite Directional Couplers
Abstract :
The theoretical construction of ideal (lossless) 3 times 3, 4 times 4, and 5 times 5 dimensional directional couplers from 2 times 2 directional couplers is demonstrated. Such devices could be fabricated as planar waveguide circuit elements.
