Compact planar microstrip-slotline symmetrical ring eight-portcomparator circuits

It is shown that the common eight-port comparator circuit may be constructed starting from a fully symmetrical eight-port device. The conditions for a lossless symmetrical eight-port circuit to be a symmetrical eight-port comparator are derived. These are used to design several versions of a planar ring microstrip-slotline comparator. Two experimental versions of such an eight-port circuit have been constructed using a planar microstrip-slotline technique. In the case of the second version, the ring circumference is only a wavelength at midband. This is the same circumference as the common 180° magic T ring circuit, four of which are frequently used to build a conventional comparator. The bandwidth of these eight-port planar ring circuits can be as much as 30% for a return loss better than 20 dB. A quasi-optic eight-port symmetrical comparator circuit based on a single wire grid is discussed. It has no bandwidth limitation

Implementation of a Microstrip Square Planar $N$-Way Metamaterial Power Divider

This paper describes a compact square-shaped 20-way metamaterial power divider implemented in microstrip technology and lumped capacitors and inductors. The divider comprises 12 square tiles exhibiting left-handed behavior and 13 square tiles exhibiting right-handed behavior arranged in a checkerboard tessellation (or mosaic). The divider relies upon the infinite wavelength phenomena in two dimensions and this requires the left-handed tiles have an insertion phase between any two of its sides equal to, but with opposite sign, of that of the right-handed tiles. To achieve tessellation, both tile types must be the same size. The design method is based upon an analytic formulation, and was applied to the realization of a 20-way power divider operating at 1 GHz that uses surface-mount lumped components. The resulting divider was 50 mm by 50 mm. Over a 10% bandwidth, the measured insertion loss was less than 1.3 dB, the measured couplings track within plusmn1 dB and plusmn6deg , and the measured input port return loss and isolation was greater than 20 dB. This level of isolation was achieved without isolation resistors. Equal in-phase power division to output ports on the square-shaped periphery allows compact integration with other planar circuit modules in a combined amplifier. The design method can be extended to N-way power division where N is an odd integer multiple of 4.

Insertion loss is larger than 23 dB for the shunt /spl lambda//4 CRLH TL open-circuit stub and less than 0.25 dB for the shunt /spl lambda//4 CRLH TL short-circuit stub at each passband. The dual-band BLC exhibits S/sub 21/ and S/sub 31/ larger than -4.034 dB, return losses larger than 17 dB, isolations larger than 13 dB, phase differences 90/spl deg//spl plusmn/1.5/spl deg/, and gain imbalance less than 0.5 dB at each passband.

A new millimeter-wave printed twin dipole phased array antenna is developed at Ka band using a new microstrip-fed CPS tee junction, which does not require any bonding wires, air bridges, or via holes.
