Abstract

This article proposes the design of a Bethe-hole (BH) directional coupler using substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) technique. The design can readily be coupled with, for instance, an antenna and is therefore suitable for millimeter-wave communication systems. Good agreements have been achieved between simulated and experimental results for a 25-dB BH SIW coupler operating in the X-band. Directivity greater than 20-dB and a coupling of 24.7 dB were obtained. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett, 2011; View this article online at wileyonlinelibrary.com.
