Abstract
A new concept of broadband equal-split coupled-line directional couplers is proposed. The proposed couplers are based on coupled-line sections, all having the same coupling coefficient, and feature frequency characteristics similar to the ones obtained for classic symmetrical three-section coupled-line couplers. It is shown that appropriate cascade- and tandem-connected coupled-line sections, having all the same coupling coefficients and different electrical lengths allow for achieving equal power split in a broadband frequency range together with the quadrature differential phase response. Therefore, a very flexible design process is possible, in which directional couplers with different bandwidths and coupling imbalances can be realized by changing solely the electrical lengths of the coupled-line sections. Moreover, the proposed networks require significantly lower coupling coefficients and feature slightly shorter overall electrical lengths than their classic counterparts. The theoretical analysis of the proposed circuits is shown in the paper and is followed by the design and measurements of two broadband equal-split quadrature directional couplers operating at the center frequency of 2 GHz.
