Abstract
The general six-port phase correlator is comprised of a Wilkinson power divider and three $90^{\circ}$ hybrid coupler, which has less than 10 % bandwidth. In this paper, the six-port phase correlator using two section power divider has 33 % bandwidth and external matching $90^{\circ}$ hybrid coupler with 15 % bandwidth was designed at the center frequency of 2.5 GHz. The simulation result by ADS2003A indicates that RF port and LO port of proposed six-port phase correlator got wide frequency bandwidth of 14 % for VSWR of 1.5. The fabricated six-port phase correlator has a bandwidth of 12 % similar to the simulation result. The maximum phase discrepancy and insertion loss are $6^{\circ}$ and 2.5 dB over a bandwidth, respectively.
