Research on the Equivalent Circuit Model of the Three-Port T-Junction and Its Applications to High-Performance Branch-Line Coupler
analysis of three-port T-junction based on the admittance matrix is presented.This method extracts parameters of the equivalent circuit model with high accuracy in ultra wideband.In order to control the effect of the parasitic capacitance
two improved T-junctions with concave and convex segments are proposed.The effect in the equivalent circuit model and parasitic capacitance due to different connection ways of three-port T-junction is also investigated.Then the improved T-junctions are applied to design a high-performance branch-line coupler with center frequency of 12GHz.The return loss and isolation are both better than -26dB at the center frequency
while the total insertion losses are below 1 dB and amplitude imbalance is within 0.1dB.
