Abstract

In this letter, design of compact size ratโ€race coupler (RRC), based on impedanceโ€controlled simple transmission line structure is proposed for predetermined harmonic suppression. The present approach has the advantage that within the fabrication limit of highโ€impedance lines, a large number of harmonics are suppressed. Design guidelines are provided. Theoretical predictions are verified by implementing a prototype microstrip RRC, with upto twelfth harmonic of the operating frequency suppressed along with 75% size reduction compared with the conventional RRC. ยฉ 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract Miniaturized broadband microstrip ratโ€race coupler is implemented by incorporating space filling fractal structure with microstrip shunt open stubs. The proposed design occupies just 18.5% of the conventional ratโ€race coupler. Fractal structure is utilized to reduce the area occupied by
