Abstract
The monolithic integrated interdigital coupler includes a plurality of parallel conductors (5, 6, 7, 8, 9) extending side-by-side and a plurality of conducting air bridges (10,11,12, 13) connecting pairs of conductors. One end of each conductor is connected with one end of another non-adjacent or non-neighboring conductor by means of one of the conducting air bridges (10,11,12,13). In order to provide a closer or tighter coupling at least one conducting air bridge (10,11,12,13) is connected to the conductor it bridges by a concentrated capacitance (14,15,16,17).
Claims4
A monolithic integrated interdigital coupler comprising a plurality of parallel conductors (5, 6, 7, 8, 9) extending side-by-side, a plurality of conducting air bridges (10,11,12, 13) and at least one concentrated capacitance (14,15,16,17), wherein one end of each of said conductors is connected with one end of another non-adjacent or non-neighboring one of said conductors by means of a respective one of said conducting air bridges (10,11,12,13) and at least one of said conducting air bridges (10,11,12,13) is connected to one of said conductors bridged thereby by said at least one concentrated capacitance (14,15,16,17).
A monolithic integrated interdigital coupler comprising
- a plurality of parallel conductors (5, 6, 7, 8, 9) extending side-by-side;
- a plurality of gates (1,2,3,4) connected to said conductors (5, 6, 7, 8, 9), said gates having conductor pieces (101,102,201,202,301,302,401,402) extending therefrom for reflection-free matching;
- a plurality of conducting air bridges (10,11,12, 13), each of said conducting air bridges connecting a respective one of said conductors (5, 6, 7, 8, 9) with another non-adjacent or non-neighboring one of said conductors;
- and
- at least one concentrated capacitance (14,15,16,17) connecting each of said conducting air bridges (10,11,12,13) with a bridged one of said conductors bridged thereby.
