Abstract
AbstractIn this letter, a simple balanced directional coupler with high common‐mode (CM) suppression is designed by using a single‐layer substrate‐integrated waveguide (SIW). The SIW can be considered a naturally balanced structure. The CM noises are able to be intrinsically suppressed when differentially excited along the symmetric H‐plane of SIW. The coupling window with tapered transition is designed for broadening the bandwidth of 3‐dB coupling. The microstrip differential feeding structure with inductive vias and inductive matching section enables planar integration and better impedance matching. Finally, a SIW balanced directional coupler operating at 14–16 GHz is designed and fabricated. Measured results are in good agreement with simulated ones.
