Directional Coupler Using MWO PDF

This document provides information on designing directional couplers using AWR Microwave Office software. It includes the basics of directional couplers, an example of designing a 20dB coupler at 9GHz, and another example at 3GHz. Simulation results are shown plotting coupling and directivity from 1-5GHz. The document concludes with an example of a 20dB stripline coupler design at 3GHz, including losses, and calculations to determine the even and odd mode impedances and line widths/spacing.
