Abstract:
A signal coupling network comprising:a first conductor extending in a first direction; anda second conductor extending in a second direction, having a region thereof crossing over a region of said first conductor, and being spaced apart from said first conductor by a first dielectric layer therebetween; and whereinsaid region of said second conductor includesa signal divider having a first port thereof coupled to a first portion of said second conductor located adjacent to a first side of said region of said first conductor, and second and third ports thereof spaced apart from one another by a half wavelength of said signal, anda signal combiner having a first port thereof coupled to a second portion of said second conductor located adjacent to a second side of said region of said first conductor, and second and third ports thereof spaced apart from one another by said half wavelength of said signal, and whereinsaid second and third ports of said signal divider are respectively coupled to said second and third ports of said signal combiner; and whereinsaid second and third ports of said signal divider are respectively coupled to said second and third ports of said signal combiner by way of first and second conductor links spaced apart by said half wavelength in the course of crossing over said first conductor, and further including tuning pads spaced apart from said first and second conductor links, spaced apart from and overlying said first conductor.
