Abstract
The newly method to implement the branch‐line couplers has been proposed in this letter. Using the approach of π‐model, the size of branch‐line coupler can be miniaturized easily. Especially, the proposed coupler without using any lumped element can be easily fabricated on the printed circuit board. In this study, the proposed couplers achieve a physical size reduction of almost 63% with the performance competed with the conventional one. Moreover, the measured frequency responses show good agreement with the theoretical results. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
