摘要：
This paper presents the design of a compact, planar, single layer, tri-section ultra-wideband (UWB) branch-line (BL) coupler. The prototype offers 10 dB return loss characteristics from 3.1 to 13.7 GHz. Over a major portion of the band, phase imbalance of +/- 10 degrees is achieved. The method of deploying multi stage impedance feed has been used to achieve improved bandwidth. To enhance the power output through the coupled port throughout the operating band, ring shaped slots have been introduced in the ground plane beneath the series arms. The performance of the fabricated prototype has also been validated experimentally.
