Abstract

A magic-T type constructed in microstrip technology using aperture coupling is proposed and investigated. The goal is to obtain optimum coupling, phase, and isolation characteristics over a certain bandwidth for its future use in planar multilayer microwave integrated circuit applications. Preliminary results are presented, successfully demonstrating the concept and showing good agreement between theory and measurements.
