ABSTRACT:
A multilayer 180 degree hybrid coupler comprises a cascaded pair of quarter wavelength directional couplers, one of the connections between the directional couplers being made by direct connection and the other connection being made indirectly via a length of transmission line that introduces a 180 degree phase shift at the operating frequency of the hybrid coupler. Each directional coupler comprises a pair of broadside coupled conductive tracks on opposite sides of a dielectric layer and the length of transmission line comprises a further conductive track on at least one side of the dielectric layer. Both the direct connection and the connection via the length of transmission line extend through the dielectric layer at respective via holes so that the hybrid coupler has two input ports on one side of the dielectric layer and two output ports on the other side of the dielectric layer.
