Abstract
This paper presents an innovative topology of a broadband active quadrature hybrid. This novel architecture consists of a traveling wave amplifier with a unique coupling mechanism, providing amplitude flatness and low phase imbalance over the 4–18 GHz frequency band. Experimental results validate the performance of such a hybrid over more than 2 frequency octaves.
