Design and Simulation of a Tunable Stripline Wideband Coupler
School of Electronics & Communication Engineering, Guangdong Mechanical & Electrical College, Guangzhou 510515, China
The basic theory of coupler is introduced, and a tunable strip-line wideband coupler is designed by using radio-frequency/microwave software which is named ADS on the basis of theoretical calculations and analysis. The broadband coupler can be adjusted appropriately in different frequency regions by using a tunable band line. It has a wide bandwidth of 2G~4G, excellent return loss of (>30.5) dB, stable coupling coefficient of (9.85~10.81) dB, and high isolation of (>20.08) dB, the straight-through pass-band transmission coefficient of (0.41~0.62) dB. The coupler has high power tolerance and small size. It can reduce design costs by used in communication systems.
Key words: Tunable / Stripline / Wideband coupler / Return loss / Coupling coefficient / Simulation and analysis
