A Substrate Integrated Gap Waveguide Based Wideband 3-dB Coupler for 5G Applications

A wideband 3-dB coupler using substrate integrated gap waveguide (SIGW) is proposed based on the principle of the branch-line coupler structure. The SIGW coupler design is comprehensively studied. It is found that SIGW conducting ridge vias play a significant role and have a strong impact on the cav...
