Abstract

In this paper, the microstrip $90^{\circ}$ hybrid to provide -3dB coupling and $90^{\circ}$ phase difference at broadband frequency range of 2 to 6 GHz is designed. This proposed hybrid is composed of 3-section. The two outside section are realized by symmetrical edge coupled lines, but on the other hand the middle section consists of VIP(Vertically Installed Planar) circuit. The ground part of VIP circuit is partially removed to get tight coupling, particularly. This hybrid is easy to realize due to microstrip structure and has good holing flexibility by taking advantage of VIP circuit as a control point of optimization. The proposed hybrid provide satisfactory performance as compared with simplicity of structure and fabrication first of all.

본 논문에서는 $2\~6$ Hz의 광대역에서 -3 dB 결합 특성과 $90^{\circ}$ 위상차를 제공하는 마이크로스트립 하이브리드를 설계하였다. 3-단 결합기 구조를 가지며, 양 측면 단은 대칭 가장자리 결합 선로로 구현되는 반면에, 가운데 단은 수직으로 장착된 평면 회로로 구성된다. 특히 수직 장착된 평면 회로는 밀 결합 특성을 얻기 위해 일부 접지면이 제거된 형태를 갖는다. 본 하이브리드는 마이크로스트립 구조이기 때문에 제작이 용이하고, 수직 장착 기판을 특성 적정화의 조정점으로 이용함으로써 양호한 튜닝 유연성을 갖는다. 무엇보다도 제안한 하이브리드는 구조와 제작의 단순성에 비해 만족할만한 성능을 제공한다.
