Abstract
AbstractThis letter presents a compact fully differential branch‐line coupler. It is composed of folded substrate integrated suspended parallel strip line (SISPSL), which can generate slow‐wave effect and help reduce the circuit size. The used SISPSL type line is a fusion of double‐sided parallel‐strip line (DSPSL) and substrate integrated suspended line (SISL), which has the advantage of self‐packaging as compared with traditional DSPSL exposed to air. A DC to 30‐GHz differential transition from grounded coplanar waveguide (GCPW) to SISPSL is designed to test the SISPSL differential coupler. The implemented SISPSL branch‐line coupler has a compact size of 0.056 λg × 0.05 λg.
