Abstract :
In this paper, we propose some original technological configurations for implementing highly coupled wideband structures in a 3D environment. Thanks to a convenient combination of thinkable topologies, difficulties commonly encountered with a classical approach can be solved. Different design examples of couplers are given, and experimental and simulated results are presented.
