Broadband coupling structures for microwave arithmetic circuits and phased arrays
Abstract
Four specific coupling structures are introduced or are described in detail. Each has important applications now and in future systems. For example, smart skins with integrated microwave circuitry for processing and radiation may make use of a novel coupling aperture. Various rigorous design equations are available for high performance coupler designs, be they on common soft or the newer monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMICs) capable materials. Numerical solutions are ideally suited to CAD/CAM practices and could be extended to promising newer devices involving multielement coupled transmission lines.
