Abstract

Directional couplers have extensive applications in microwave circuits such as beamforming networks. Recently there has been growing scientific and commercial interest in microwave components for anti-crash and pre-crash systems in cars centered at 24GHz. In this paper a novel suspended transmission-line 3dB coupler at 24GHz is presented. This circuit has been micromachined on a glass-quartz substrate and BCB layers have been used to suspend the transmission lines of the coupler. In this paper simulated and experimental results are presented and the fabrication method described.
