The working mechanism of the proposed structure is explained, and the design procedure is illustrated in order to obtain the geometrical dimensions for a coupler working at 5.5GHz. The design is performed using commercial electromagnetic analysis software. This novel directional coupler presents interesting advantages when compared to previous wave couplers KW - Teoría de la Señal y las Comunicaciones KW - Acoplador direccional KW - Fuga de ondas KW - Directional coupler KW - Leaky waves LA - eng PB - Institute Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) ER -
