Phase shift switching of a miniaturized ultra‐wideband hybrid coupler for 5G technology

Abstract

The main purpose of this letter is to develop a miniaturized ultra-wideband hybrid coupler with an adjustable phase shift (90-180 and vice versa) that operates around the resonant frequency of 3.8 GHz with a fractional bandwidth of 26% required for 5G applications. The design approach is based on a microstrip waveguide technique with localized lumped elements to control the phase shift between the input and output ports. The performance of the coupler can be seen from its important characteristics: adaptation, coupling, isolation, and phase shift. All these mentioned parameters are approved by simulation and validated by measurement. The measurement results show good agreement with the simulation, which confirms the success of the theoretical part and the importance of our proposed structure.

Second order microstrip bandpass filter design based on square resonator for 5G sub-6 GHz band

“…In this work, the mid-band called sub-6 GHz (3.5 GHz to 3.8 GHz) is adopted, which is available in several communication systems in Europe, America and Asia [1][2][3][4]. In these communication systems, many electronic devices are connected together to generate and receive radio signals for specific operational frequency and band frequency [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. In order to capture the specific operational frequency, the microwave filter is the key component for separating unwanted frequencies.…”

“…Orthogonal MIMO antenna with combination of monopole structures designed by Rekha [28] for the improvement of isolation between the elements to reduce mutual coupling. Slimani [29] produced ultrawide band coupler suitable for 5G communication applications. Pronami [30] analyzed a monopole antenna with electromagnetic band gap structure for Wi-Fi, LTE and WLAN applications.…”
