Abstract
This paper prents a novel wideband nonuniform branch line coupler. An exponential impedance taper is inrted, at the ries arms of the branch line coupler, to enhance the bandwidth. The behavior of the nonuniform coupler was mathematically analyzed, and its design of scattering matrix was derived. For a return loss better than 10?dB, it
achieved 61.1% bandwidth centered at 9GHz. Measured coupling magnitudes and pha exhibit good dispersive characteristic. For the 1dB magnitude difference and pha error within 3°, it achieved 22.2% bandwidth centered at 9GHz. Furthermore, the novel branch line coupler was implemented for a wideband crossover. Crossover was constructed by cascading two wideband nonuniform branch line couplers. The components were employed to design a wideband Butler Matrix working at 9.4GHz. The measurement results show that the reflection coefficient between the output ports is better than 18dB across 8.0GHz–9.6GHz, and the overall pha error is less than 7.
1. Introduction
Recently, a switched-beam antenna system has been widely ud in numerous applications, such as in mobile communication system, satellite system, and modern multifunction radar. This is due to the ability of the switched-beam antenna to decrea the interference and to improve the quality of transmission and also to increa gain and diversity.
The switched-beam system consists of a multibeam switching network and antenna array. The principle of a switched-beam is bad on feeding a signal into an array of antenna with equal power and pha difference. Different structures of multibeam switching networks have been propod, such as the Blass Matrix, the Nolen Matrix, the Rotman
古诗六年级Lens, and the Butler Matrix .
One of the most widely known multibeam switching networks with a linear antenna is the Butler Matrix. Indeed, it ems to be the most attractive option due to its design simplicity and low power loss .
将爱献给行星In general, the Butler Matrix is an N × N passive feeding network, compod of branch line coupler, crossover, and pha shifter. The bandwidth of the Butler Matrix is greatly dependent on the performance of the components. However, the Butler Matrix has a narrow bandwidth characteristic due to branch line coupler and crossover has a limited bandwidth. As there is an incread demand to provide high data throughput , it is esntial that the Butler Matrix has to operate over a wide frequency band when ud for angle diversity. Therefore, many papers have reported for the bandwidth enhancement of branch line coupler . In reference , design and realization of branch line c

tandem-connected structure. The design resulted in a wide bandwidth. Another design, two elliptically shaped microstrip lines which are broadside coupled through an elliptically shaped slot, was employed in . This design was ud in a UWB coupler with high return loss and
isolation. However, the designs require a more complex manufacturing.
In this paper, nonuniform branch line coupler using exponential impedance taper is propod which can enhance bandwidth and can be implemented for Butler Matrix, as shown in Figure
1. Moreover, it is a simple design without needs of using multilayer technology. This will lead in cost reduction and in design simplification.

To design the new branch line coupler, firstly, the ries arm’s impedance is modified. The shunt arm remains unchanged. Reduced of the width of the transmission line at this arm is desired by modifying the ries arm. Next, by exponential impedance taper at the ries arm, a good match over a high frequency can be achieved.
