In this paper, a novel 3-dB CPW multilayer slot-coupled directional coupler is presented and implemented. The coupler has two CPW lines coupled through a hexagonal slot etched on a common ground plane located between these lines. To increase the coupling between these CPW lines, a slot with sharp ed

✦ Synopsis
An impro¨ed 3 dB broadband double-sided slot-coupled directional coupler has been designed and implemented. The slot is modified by trimming the sharp rectangular edges and the coupled microstrip lines in the coupling region. The performance of the coupler shows good agreement with the simulated frequency response. The main impro¨ement is in the significant reduction of ripple amplitude in the design bandwidth. Insertion loss of the no¨el coupler has also been reduced compared to the con¨entional rectangular slot coupler.
