@conference{10902/3114, year = {2010}, month = {9}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10902/3114}, abstract = {A broadband modified rat-race hybrid with around 35% bandwidth is presented in this paper. This hybrid was developed from 26 to 36 GHz bandwidth (centre frequency 31 GHz) using microstrip technology on Alumina substrate. The design uses CPWG-Microstrip transitions to measure the response of the circuit in a coplanar probes station. Measurements across the frequency bandwidth show a maximum amplitude imbalance of 0.5 dB, the phase variation is ± 5º, the isolation is better than 25 dB and the return loss is greater than 10 dB. Moreover, the circuit is planar, easy to design and consists of a single layer, without requirements of metallic holes and bonding wires, so it is also a low-cost circuit.}, publisher = {URSI 2010, XXV Simposium Nacional de la Unión Científica Internacional de Radio, Bilbao}, title = {Híbrido 180º de banda ancha en tecnología microstrip a 31 GHz}, author = {Cagigas Ibañez, Jaime and Villa Benito, Enrique and Artal Latorre, Eduardo and Hoyland, Roger J.}, }
