An ultra-compact full-band waveguide quadrature hybrid coupler

This work proposes an easily scalable quadrature hybrid coupler (QHC) topology with two symmetric stepped apertures that originate a square coaxial-like mid-section. This new configuration enables an ultra-compact design, three times shorter than equivalent structures, having 40% of fractional bandw...
