Design of a Wide-Band Lumped-Element 3-dB Quadrature Coupler

چکیده
Analysis and design techniques for designing a lumped-element 3-dB quadrature coupler with wide-band flat coupling are proposed for microwave integrated-circuit/monolithic-microwave integrated-circuit applications. The proposed design technique can produce a coupler with flat coupling over 50% fractional bandwidth, which is wider than the conventional lumped-element design methods. A prototype consisting of a capacitive coupled high-pass network is designed and fabricated to verify the design concept. Measurement and simulation results closely correspond to each other.

Electronically tunable lumped element 90 hybrid coupler
Introduction: With the increasing variety of commercial wireless applications, there is now a requirement to incorporate several transceivers into a single hardware device [1]. To achieve high integration and minimise costs, it is an advantage to design transceivers that can be reconfigured for different frequency bands or share common blocks, rather than implementing the transceivers separatel...

The successful design and measurement of high-performance coplanar waveguide (CPW) quadrature hybrid couplers integrated in MCM-D at Ku and Ka-band and Wilkinson power dividers at X-band are discussed in this work. The authors have investigated the feasibility of integrating 3-dB quadrature couplers in the MCM-D technology. Quadrature couplers based on two edge-coupled lines are not practical, ...

⎯An analysis of a 3 dB lumped-element directional coupler (LEDC) based on arbitrary terminal impedance is described numerically. To solve the conflicted requirement for broad bandwidth and small size in LEDC, a new structure of coupler is introduced, which can significantly improve bandwidth and whose size is only 3 cm×4 cm on the conditions of the frequency domain of 410 MHz to 490 MHz. The me...

A compact fully integrated wideband six-port device composed of a suspended stripline Wilkinson power divider and three bias stripline of 3-dB quadrature directional couplers is presented. In order to integrate a six-port circuit, a multilayer circuit structure has been adopted by the via hole interconnection at the output port of the divider. The 3-dB quadrature directional coupler is composed...
