| Research Abstract |
1.It is shown that a novel eight-port hybrid circuit adequate to microstrip line structure can be constructed by utilizing a crossover. A point of this circuit is to be able to choose an arbitrary value for branchline impedances.
2.(1)A design method of broadening the bandwidth is established for a branch-line-type eight -port hybrid with 1/4-wavelength line sections and matching networks. A relative bandwidth of about 20% is obtained, and in the same particular a very flat coupling over bandwidth should be marked.
(2)The bandwidth of the above nobel eight-port hybrid is strongly dependent on the blanchline impedances, though it can not be widened by matching networks.
Constructions of 16- and 32-port hybrids are shown and an improvement on their bandwidth by means of 1/4-wavelength line sections is investigated. As a result, flat couplings over a relative bandswidth of about 15% are realized for the both hybrids.
4.A phase relation of the scattering parameters of multi-port hybrids is examined theoretically, and the general relation for eight-port hybrids is derived. Moreover, it is shown that eight-port hybrids with two-fold symmetry can take a output phase relation of inphase/anti-phase or quadrtature.
5.As an application of the multi-port hybrid, a power-combinig system of four oscillators coupled through an eight-port hybrid is suggested and studied in detail. The distinction of this system is to deliver a combined power distinguishably to an arbitrary port of four ports.
Various multi-port hybrids inclusive of those developed by another investigator are surveyed.
