Abstract
In this article, a new way is proposed to compact the transmission lines of microstrip devices such as branchβline couplers (BLCs).In this way, two unequalβlength highβimpedance (thin) transmission lines paralleling with each other are used instead of a single transmission line. The shorter and greater lines can be implemented in a right and meander forms, respectively. The usefulness of the proposed way was verified by designing, simulation, and fabrication of a compacted BLC at frequency 2 GHz. An area compactness of about 64.2% is achieved.

## Abstract A compact ring BranchβLine Coupler (BLC) with size reduction of about 50%(in circuit area) of conventional BLCs at frequency 2 GHz is introduced. The coupler is designed by using nonuniform transmission lines (NTL) instead of Uniform Transmission Lines in each arm. The normalized width
## Abstract A compact branch line coupler (BLC) using four coupled transmission lines is introduced. The loaded part of the proposed model has a same performance with a cascade two unit elements and it is equaled by a quarter wavelength line. The quarter wavelength lines of each branch in the conve
