The fabrication of two slightly different couplers demonstrates the wideband performance associated with miniaturized size, thanks to the use of meandered transmission lines and lumped capacitors. The best coupler provides a −10‐dB matching bandwidth of 42% with an insertion loss of 0.6 dB and a phase shift of 88° at 60 GHz. The amplitude imbalance and the phase imbalance stay, respectively, within ±1 dB and ±5° over 27 and 36%. These state‐of‐the‐art results are compared to recently published results obtained with comparable hybrid couplers. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
