Abstract

This article presents the design of microstrip electromagnetic bandgap element and its applications in the planar rat‐race hybrid coupler with the purpose of harmonic suppression and size reduction.The measured results of proposed hybrid coupler with 1.25 GHz central frequency verify its attractive performance with an insertion loss of less than 3.4 dB, a return loss of about 20 dB, an isolation of 32 dB, 17 dB suppression for the second harmonic, 25 dB suppression for the third harmonic, and 22 dB suppression for the fourth harmonic. In particular, with no loss of the performance, the area of proposed rat‐race coupler, achieving 57% save in size, has been successfully reduced from 38.82 cm^2^ (the area of conventional hybrid coupler) to 16.72 cm^2^. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract Miniaturized broadband microstrip rat‐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 rat‐race coupler. Fractal structure is utilized to reduce the area occupied by

## Abstract In this letter, design of compact size rat‐race coupler (RRC), based on impedance‐controlled simple transmission line structure is proposed for predetermined harmonic suppression. The present approach has the advantage that within the fabrication limit of high‐impedance lines, a large n
