Abstract
The concept of double‐Lorentz (DL) transmission lines (TL) provides two additional degrees of freedom in realizing triband microwave devices. The triband operation is accomplished by the flexible phase slope characteristic of the DL TL with the frequency. In this article, the theory, design procedure, and implementation of the triband quarter‐wave (λ/4) DL TL are presented. Moreover, the triband λ/4 open‐circuit stub and triband branch‐line coupler (BLC) are introduced for the application of mobile TV service. The simulated and measured results of these triband components are also presented. The λ/4 DL TL open‐circuit stub demonstrates insertion loss larger than 17 dB at each target band. The triband BLC has S‐parameters of output larger than −4.569 dB, return losses larger than 14 dB, isolations larger than 15 dB, phase differences of output 90° ± 5° at each target band. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Line coupler is presented. The adoption of such technologies adds degrees of freedom with respect to other already proposed design techniques, thus allowing the development of a very compact device, and a larger flexibility in the choice of the two operating frequencies and corresponding bandwidths.
## 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
