HYBRID-CASCADE COUPLED-LINE PHASERS FOR HIGH-RESOLUTION RADIO-ANALOG SIGNAL PROCESSING

摘要

A hybrid-cascade (HC) coupled-line phaser configuration is presented to synthesize enhanced group delay responses for high-resolution radio-analog signal processing. Using exact analytical transfer functions, the superiority of HC coupled-line phasers over conventional transversally cascaded C-section phasers is demonstrated and verified using full-wave simulations.
