Abstract
Mode-related design equations not available to date are presented and discussed for quasi-ideal couplers using multilayer MMIC/MCM technology. The resulting couplers have close-to-zero reflection and near-perfect isolation over very large bandwidths. Several such couplers with varied coupling coefficients have been designed to demonstrate their realizability.
