Wideband multi-port network integrated by 3-dB branch-line couplers
The design of a multi-port network integrated by symmetrical alignment of four 3-dB branch-line couplers (BLCs) for wideband communication applications is presented. The BLC is designed with the implementation of stub impedance at each port's transmission line and defect ground structure (DGS)...

| description | The design of a multi-port network integrated by symmetrical alignment of four 3-dB branch-line couplers (BLCs) for wideband communication applications is presented. The BLC is designed with the implementation of stub impedance at each port's transmission line and defect ground structure (DGS) underneath the shunt branches of BLC to improve bandwidth. The designs of the BLC and the multi-port network are performed by using CST Microwave Studio, a three-dimensional (3D) electromagnetic wave simulator. The designed wideband BLC and multi-port are fabricated, and their wideband performances of 2.3 to 5.3 GHz are verified. |
