Abstract
The influence of discontinuity effects on the performance of symmetrical multisection coupledโline directional couplers designed in a stripline technique has been comprehensively investigated, for the first time. It has been shown that the connections between coupledโline sections introduce parasitic reactances which deteriorate the isolations and return losses of designed couplers and also that the recently developed method of capacitive compensation can be applied to improve couplers' performance. A threeโsection symmetrical 3โdB directional coupler has been designed and measured. The measurement results validate the presented analyses. ยฉ 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
