摘要
A new class of coaxial broad-band directional couplers for high-power RF testing is presented. These devices overcome the drawbacks of classical stripline and coaxial couplers, and allow simple low-cost mechanical construction. A design technique for the new longitudinally nonuniform transversally nonsymmetrical couplers is described, providing the synthesis of any coupling shape versus frequency. As a first demonstration of the proposed method, a set of broad-band (2-7.5 GHz) low-coupling (-30, -33, -35 dB) nonsymmetrical coaxial directional couplers in air has been designed, built, and characterized, showing very good agreement between predicted and obtained performances.
