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 fre

β¦ Synopsis
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 edges is used. The proposed directional coupler showed promising results, especially in terms of bandwidth (Ο³6 GHz). The simulated results are also compared with the measured data, and a good agreement is reported.
