Abstract

A theoretical model is used to investigate effect of the tapering shape on performance of the broadside‐coupled directional coupler. It is shown that the tapering shape has a significant effect on the overall performance. Concave shapes give a broader bandwidth compared with the convex shapes. The model also shows that a proper choice of the tapering shape can result in a significant improvement in the performance across a wide bandwidth. The theoretical findings of the model are supported by simulations, and measurements. Β© 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In a coupled-line quarter-wave directional coupler consisting of inhomogeneous waveguides such as microstrip lines, directivity is degraded due to the difference in the phase velocity of the even and odd modes. In order to rectify this problem, various methods have been proposed. In the present pape
