Abstract :
The present paper describes the development of a computer model that is able to predict the performance of the symmetrical six-port microstrip coupler (based on a double-ring topology with a star junction at the center) for possible use as a five-way power divider. Tests on a preliminary prototype confirm that excellent agreement can be obtained between the predicted data and measured results
