Abstract

In this paper, the directional coupler with half-power division is designed and fabricated by using the vertical coupling structure based on the CPW transmission-line. Even-mode and odd-mode of the vertical coupling structure can be analyzed by the conventional CPW-line and the CBCPW-line, respectively, with half thickness of the substrate. The directional coupler is designed by using the tefron substrate with the dielectric constant of 2.55 and the thickness of 0.76mm. Manufactured directional coupler has the center frequency of 2.45 GHz and the bandwidth of 66.1%. Also, the return loss and isolation are 19.52dB and 19.47dB, respectively, at the center frequency.

본 논문에서는 CPW 선로를 기반으로 한 수직 결합 구조를 이용한 반전력의 방향성 결합기가 설계 및 제작되었다. CPW 수직 결합 구조의 우수 모드는 유전체 기판 두께의 반을 갖는 일반적인 CPW 선로로 해석될 수 있으며, 기수 모드는 CBCPW 선로로 해석될 수 있다. 반전력 방향성 결합기는 유전율 2.55, 기판 두께 0.76mm의 테프론 기판 상에 중심주파수 2.45 GHz, 대역폭 61.6%로 설계되었으며, 제작된 반전력 방향성 결합기는 중심주파수 2.45 GHz, 대역폭 66.1%를 가졌고, 중심주파수에서 반사손실과 격리도는 각각 19.52 dB와 19.47 dB를 가졌다.
