Question

Design a single-section coupled line coupler with a coupling of 19.1 dB , a system impedance of $60 \Omega$, and a center frequency of 8 GHz . If the coupler is to be made in stripline (edge-coupled), with $\epsilon_r=2.2$ and $b=0.32 \mathrm{~cm}$, find the necessary strip widths and separation.

Step 1

The coupling is given as 19.1 dB. The coupling coefficient C is related to the coupling in dB by: Coupling (dB) = -20 log₁₀(C) 19.1 = -20 log₁₀(C) log₁₀(C) = -19.1/20 = -0.955 C = 10^(-0.955) = 0.111 or approximately 0.11  Show more…
