Ultra-wideband CPW six-port circuits based on multilayer technology

A new multilayer six-port circuit using an ultra-wideband directional coupler is presented and implemented. The use of multilayer technology allows having a compact circuit and very large bandwidth. To validate this concept, a six-port prototype was fabricated and measured. Simulation and measurement results show the proposed six-port circuit can easily operate over an ultra-wide band from 4 to 7 GHz.
