Planar Dual-Band Branch-Line Coupler With Large Frequency Ratio

This work presents a novel planar branch-line coupler topology developed for dual-band operation using an E-shaped impedance transformer network to supplant the conventional microstrip line. Explicit closed-form design equations for dual-band operation are derived using the ABCD matrices. The studie...
