Abstract
In this paper, a compact wideband coupler is designed and fabricated between S-Band and C-Band. And a single-antenna radar transceiver utilizing this coupler is proposed. The advantages of the coupler are wideband, compact size, ease of integration and good isolation. Measured and simulated results show that the bandwidth of the coupler is 95% (2.5 to 7.2 GHz) when the port connected to transmitter is excited, and 98% (2.5 to 7.3 GHz) when the port connected to antenna is excited. Also, isolation is more than 20dB over the operating frequencies.
