Abstract
A compact branch line coupler (BLC) using four coupled transmission lines is introduced. The loaded part of the proposed model has a same performance with a cascade two unit elements and it is equaled by a quarter wavelength line. The quarter wavelength lines of each branch in the conventional coupler are replaced by an equivalent circuit composed of a four coupled transmission line and two transmission lines. A compact branchโline coupler (BLC) is designed, analyzed, and tested using this technique. The size reduction is about 65% with comparable performance. The measurement results are in good agreement with the theoretical ones. ยฉ 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
