Title :
Design and Performance of a Wideband Multilayer Feed Network
Abstract :
This paper describes the design and construction of a novel, high performance broadband, stripline, 8x8 port feed network. Hybrid ring couplers with improved performance are used as building blocks. The division of the circuit into two stackable even-mode and odd-mode subcircuits has greatly simplified the realization and the testing of the feed network. Experimental results for various phase modes are presented.
