Abstract
In this paper, a lumped equivalent circuit for a conventional parallel directional coupler is proposed. The equivalent circuit and design formula for the presented lumped element coupler is derived based on the even- and odd-mode properties of a parallel-coupled line. By using the derived design formula, we have designed the 3dB and 4.7dB lumped element directional couplers at the center frequency of 3.4GHz and 5.6GHz. A chip type directional coupler has been designed to fabricate with MMIC(Monolitic Microwave integrated circuit) process. Excellent agreements between simulations and measurements on the designed directional couplers show the validity of this paper.
