  • Abstract
    With the rapid development of modern wireless communication systems, the desirable miniaturization, multifunctionality strong harmonic suppression, and enhanced bandwidth of the rat-race coupler has generated much interest and continues to be a focus of research. Whether the current rat-race coupler is sufficient to adapt to the future development of microwave systems has become a heated topic.
