Abstract:To miniaturize directional couplers, the replacement of their quarter-wave sections with electrodynamic structures with equivalent characteristics at smaller physical dimensions is used. It is shown that the structures used have filtering properties and act as low-pass filters. It is set at what cutoff frequency the low-pass filters must be calculated to obtain a phase shift of 90 degrees.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
