Design and Analysis of Wideband Nonuniform Branch Line Coupler and Its Application in a Wideband Butler Matrix

This paper presents a novel wideband nonuniform branch line coupler. An exponential impedance taper is inserted, at the series 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 derive...
