Abstract :
A novel microwave discriminator is described which uses a single microstrip three-port ring. Results are presented for a representative circuit which show good agreement between theoretical and experimental results over a 20% bandwidth centred on 10 GHz. The device exhibits a narrowband match with a VSWR of 1.14 at the centre (design) frequency.
