## Abstract A compact ring Branch‐Line Coupler (BLC) with size reduction of about 50%(in circuit area) of conventional BLCs at frequency 2 GHz is introduced. The coupler is designed by using nonuniform transmission lines (NTL) instead of Uniform Transmission Lines in each arm. The normalized width

## 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 conve
## Abstract In this article, a new way is proposed to compact the transmission lines of microstrip devices such as branch‐line couplers (BLCs).In this way, two unequal‐length high‐impedance (thin) transmission lines paralleling with each other are used instead of a single transmission line. The sho

## Abstract This article presents a compact branch‐line coupler (BLC) for balanced‐type circuit application. It was designed by utilizing cascading multisection and capacitance‐loading technique for bandwidth increase and size reduction individually. The proposed BLC was simulated and fabricated. I
## Abstract This letter presents a broadband rat‐race coupler designed by using right‐handed artificial transmission lines (ATLs) combined with a composite right/left‐handed ATL; in order to limit spurious parasitic effects, by using metal–air–metal capacitor and short circuited stubs, both kinds o
