Definitions
- This invention comprises a four-port microwave quadrature coupler having its entire circuit structure composed of thin conductive film on a substrate of dielectric material.
- a portion of the circuit structure comprises a plurality of conductive strips forming sections of transmission line with distributed parameters. each section having a physical length substantially less than a quarter wavelength at the midband frequency.
- Other portions of the thin film circuit structure comprises lumped capacitors coplanar with and connected at the ends of the sections of transmission line.
- the sections of transmission line cooperate with the lumped capacitors to provide the necessary phase shifts and impedance transformations between the sections to act as a conventional four-port quadrature coupler. Signals may be applied to any one port and two outputs in phase quadrature can be obtained with a 3 db. power split at the two opposite ports while the adjacent conjugate port is isolated from the input port.
- FIG. 4 is a schematic representation of the circuits of FIG. 3;
- FIG. 4 is a schematic representation of the circuits of FIG. 3, the corresponding parts bearing the same reference nu' merals.
- the lumped capacitors 33 and 34 are here given a conventional representation.
- FIG, 5 is a schematic diagram of a proximity coupler of the same type shown in FIG. 3 but with three lumped capacitors 33, 34 and 39 periodically spaced along the coupled transmission lines 3] and 32. The operation is essentially the same, however, as previously described for FIG. 3,
- said lumped capacitors comprise six fixed capacitors each having a grounded end and an ungrounded end, said ungrounded ends being connected, respectively, to the ends of said three branch lines.
- a microwave quadrature coupler having an input port, an isolated port and two output ports, said coupler comprising an insulating substrate, a plurality of thin conductive strips supported coplanar on said substrate, said strips comprising sections of transmission line having distributed parameters, each of said sections of said transmission line having a length less than a quarter wavelength at a midband frequency, and said strips further comprising lumped capacitors coupled to the ends of said line sections, said sections of transmission line comprising a first series circuit comprising two of said sections of said transmission line connected between said input port and one of said output ports, a second series circuit comprising two of said sections of said transmission line connected between said isolated port and the other of said output ports, and first, second and third branch lines, said first branch line connected between the ends of said first and second series cir cuits at the input and isolated ports, respectivel said second branch line connected between the unctions ormed by the two line lengths in said first and second series circuits, said third branch line connected between the ends of said first and second series circuits at the two output ports, respectively
- a microwave quadrature coupler comprising:
- each of said capacitors comprising thin conductive strips supported coplanar on said substrate.
