Novel Broadband 3-dB Directional Coupler Design Method
نویسندگان
چکیده
─ A novel broadband 3-dB directional coupler design method utilizing HFSS and realization are given in this paper. It is realized in stripline, showing great agreement with the simulation and design format. The unique property of this design method is that it unnecessitates both a feedback from the realization for broadbanding and an additional smoothing of transition between coupled sections of the whole directional coupler. There is also no need for either a specialised CAD tool or a computer program. Key-words:digital frequency discriminator, HFSS, APLAC, broadside coupling

Broadband terahertz fiber directional coupler.
We present the design of a short broadband fiber directional coupler for terahertz (THz) radiation and demonstrate a 3 dB coupler with a bandwidth of 0.6 THz centered at 1.4 THz. The broadband coupling is achieved by mechanically downdoping the cores of a dual-core photonic crystal fiber by microstructuring the cores. This is equivalent to chemical downdoping but is easier to realize experiment...
متن کاملMiniaturization of Broadband 3-db Branch- Line Coupler
In this letter, a new miniaturized broadband 3-dB branchline coupler at the center frequency of 880 MHz is proposed. The proposed coupler is designed by means of integrated miniaturization method, which consists of shunt capacitors, fractal geometry and equivalent miniaturized stubs, to achieve 82% size reduction compared with the referenced coupler. The return loss and isolation are both under...
متن کاملBroadband and Small-size 3-dB Ring Coupler
A topology for a 3-dB broadband and small-size ring coupler is proposed. It consists of fully-distributed Composite Right-/Left-Handed phase shifters and a Lange coupler. For the fabricated coupler, the frequency bandwidth is one octave, centered on 1.5GHz, while the footprint area is reduced to 25%, compared to the conventional ring coupler topology. The experimental results are in good agreem...
متن کاملDesign of a Novel 3 Db Microstrip Backward Wave Coupler Using Defected Ground Structure
In this paper an edge coupled microstrip coupler with defected ground structure is presented. A normally 7 dB coupler designed on Alumina substrate is converted into a 3 dB coupler by cutting single rectangular slot in the ground plane encompassing the two transmission lines. Other properties of backward wave coupler remain the same, except for a tighter coupling. With this method of design opt...
متن کاملA novel design for all-optical NAND/NOR/XOR gates based on nonlinear directional coupler
In this paper a novel all-optical logic NAND, NOR and XOR gate based on nonlinear directional coupler theory is demonstrated. We use the identical structure which contains three waveguides, for designing these gates; the only difference however, is the power of inputs light beam. In other words, while a beam with 4 W/μm in power considered as logical one, the output is NAND gate and if a beam w...
