  • Abstract
    Summary form only given, as follows. This paper presents a novel wide-band forward coupler with balanced composite right/left-handed (CRLH) transmission lines. In the proposed couplers, the proposed forward couplers are a balanced CRLH transmission lines simultaneously in even/odd modes. Thus, the proposed forward coupler has a wide-band characteristic. The proposed forward coupler is simulated and experimentally demonstrated in S-band. We have designed a 0 dB forward coupler and the bandwidth is 36.5% in the experiments.
