Wideband coupler for butler matrix antenna beamforming

This work focuses on the design of a Wideband Branch Line Coupler (BLC) by using open circuits coupled lines technique. The design is implemented by adding four open circuits coupled lines to the structre of the conventional Branch Line Coupler. The coupler operates at 3.8 GHz with a wideband bandwi...
