In designing the branch line coupler, it is very important to set the impedance of each line because the amount of signal coupling at the output port is determined by the impedance of each line constituting the branch line. Since the coupling coefficient between the input and output ports is determined by the impedance condition of the line in the multi-stage branch line structure, the impedance of each line to obtain the desired coupling coefficient can be obtained by applying even-odd mode circuit analysis. In this paper, the multi-stage microstrip branch line structure is constructed and a hybrid coupling structure is used to distribute the half-power type of circuit lines connected to each port for signal transmission. We also obtained the broadband characteristics by optimizing the width and length of the line impedance to reduce the phase error within the operating range. We also analyzed the influence of the output signal amplitude and phase error on the beam pattern and beam steering direction obtained from the wide band design results of the five-stage branch line coupler. The fabricated hybrid branch line coupler has the operating frequency band of 2.15 GHz to 3.4 GHz, with a relative bandwidth of about 47%. In the band, the transmission characteristic and phase difference between output ports are less than 3.3 ± 0.5 dB and 90±1°. It shows good insertion loss, a half power and wide band characteristics. |
