Microstrip synthesis

Branch-line coupler

Quadrature hybrid: an equal split with 90° between the outputs. Four quarter-wave arms in a ring.

validated  Well-behaved closed form A quarter-wave network of uniform lines. The closed-form response is exact for the ideal transmission-line model; what it does not include is junction discontinuity and the isolation resistor's parasitics.

Specification

0.1 – 40 GHz.
Permittivities are datasheet design values.

What you get

Enter a specification and press Synthesize. Every result includes:

  • Physical dimensions — widths, gaps and lengths in millimetres
  • A drawn layout, to scale
  • The predicted response, with the honesty label above attached to it
  • A manufacturability check against a real Australian shop's process envelope
  • The models used and the range over which they are valid
  • A KiCad footprint and a DXF you can take straight to CAD

Nothing is stored against you, and the result page has a shareable address.
