In this tutorial, we learn about the design procedure of a passive component, specifically that of a branch-line hybrid using the Pathwave Advanced Design System (ADS). This is a multipart tutorial as we will learn to design it from scratch instead of relying on the design guide. This is useful as it will also serve as a tutorial for many other topics such as tuning, optimization, and EM simulation in ADS.
Part-1: Coupler design and simulation using ideal transmission lines.
Part-2: Coupler design and simulation using microstrip transmission line, LineCalc
Part-3: Coupler design and simulation using microstrip transmission line- introducing MTEE
Part-4: Coupler design and simulation using microstrip transmission line- tuning
Part-5: Coupler design and simulation using microstrip transmission line- optimization
Part- 6: coming soon
