Summary:

A new compact design for a hybrid coupler using asymmetric stripline is introduced.The design process for two different frequency ranges and simulation results for thosefrequency ranges is presented. Following the design process and simulations, the couplerwas fabricated and tested. This required the development of a Thru-Reflect-Line (TRL)calibration kit. The process for the design and verification of this kit is also presented.Finally, the calibrated results for the coupler are given. Future work is discussed includingthe design of a phase shifter using a similar design process to the coupler. It is thenshown how the coupler presented by this work and the hypothetical phase shifter might beincorporated into a larger Butler matrix design.
