Design of an overlay directional coupler by a full-wave analysis
Abstract
A full-wave analysis based on the spectral-domain method is applied to coupled overlay microstrips, coupled inverted microstrips, and coupled microstrips. Exclusive numerical data including frequency characteristics are included. A 10-dB overlay coupler was built according to the design theory, and experimental results are reported.
