The design methodology begins with a common miniaturization technique to replace the conventional quarter-wavelength transmission line with an equivalent low-pass filter loaded with parallel coupled line and radial stubs. Since the latter leads to produce higher order harmonics, parasitic open-ended stubs are then properly introduced in the structure not only to overcome the issue but also to produce controllable transmission zeros. A versatile analytical model is also developed taking into account manufacturing restrictions, which makes it possible to extract the physical parameters of the coupler unit-cell for a given desired compactness percentage with respect to the conventional rat-race coupler. A prototype is fabricated and measured to validate the design,demonstrating the predicted behavior fairly achieved by numerical analysis. A significant size reduction of about 86.1% was achieved compared to the conventional design, while effectively suppressing higher order modes up to 23.4 GHz(including the 13th harmonic based on |S11|>-5 dB and |S21|<-17 dB)with high isolation level(|S41|<-17 dB) between the ports.展开更多
