Abstract
In this paper, we present the design of ultra wideband (UWB) planar Five-Port Reflectometer using the elliptic coupler which has the advantage to offer a wide bandwidth compared to the hybrid one. The elliptic coupler and the five-port circuit were designed and simulated in the 1.5 to 3.5 GHz band using ADS software of Agilent. An analytical calculus and simulation results of a five-port circuit using elliptic coupler demonstrate limitations of this structure.
