Abstract

The invention discloses a small branch line coupler, which comprises a first metal conduction band, a second metal conduction band, four ports and a ground plate. A group of upper and lower metal posts and a group of left and right metal posts are punched in a dielectric layer to form an artificial dielectric layer. The artificial dielectric layer is overlaid on the ground plate. An isolating layer is overlaid on the artificial dielectric layer. A rectangular circuit formed by the first metal conduction band and the second metal conduction band is arranged at a position above the isolating layer corresponding to the metal posts. Since the invention adopts the artificial dielectric layer and the isolating layer to substitute for common dielectric substrates in a traditional branch line coupler, the dimension of the circuit is effectively reduced, the miniaturization of the circuit is realized and the coupler can be well used in mobile communication; and since bandwidth covers 1920MHz-2170MHz, the requirement on the third generation (3G) telecommunication bandwidth is satisfied.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention is used for power distribution and coupling in 3G communication, especially a small branch line coupler. Background technique [0002] In microwave systems, the branch line coupler is a widely used microwave device. For example, directional couplers are used in vector network analyzers, power combiners, and mixers in microwave receivers. There are many forms of transmission line couplers, mainly branch line couplers and coupled line couplers. A large number of literatures on the basic principles and design techniques of such devices as branch line couplers have appeared one after another, for example: "Ultra-Wideband Microwave Direct Design of Directional Coupler" [Guangdong Communication Technology, 2008.03, author Gao Fan], "Design of Ultra-Wideband Directional Coupler" [2003 Radio Engineering Vol. The rapid development of mobile communication technology has put forward the miniaturization requirements of communication technology, and ...
