Abstract :
The design, development, and construction of a very compact decade-(1-10-GHz) bandwidth microstrip --8.34-dB coupler are described. Calculations are given for the voltage coupling coefficient and the low-frequency cutoff, and the method of determing the physical dimensions of the circuit is described. Also, the feasibility of a decade-bandwidth microstrip magic tee by cascading two -- 8.34-dB couplers is demonstrated by comparing the actual and theoretical results of a coupler.
