Matched symmetrical six-port microstrip coupler

Previous attempts at fabricating a symmetrical six-port microstrip coupler yielded a bandwidth of only 25%. Measurement tests on a new prototype have confirmed that the design improvements proposed in the present paper are able to increase the coupler's bandwidth to 41%
