摘要: The design of a tunable hybrid coupler is presented. structure composed two cascaded active quasi-lumped couplers. Over 460% bandwidth achieved using varactor diode tuning. This circuit, which operates from 1.5 to 7 GHz, consumes virtually no DC power and its size reduced by ratio five when compared that classical branchline coupler.
