presented. These devices overcome the drawbacks of classical stripline and coaxial
couplers, and allow simple low-cost mechanical construction. A design technique for the
new longitudinally nonuniform transversally nonsymmetrical couplers is described,
providing the synthesis of any coupling shape versus frequency. As a first demonstration of
the proposed method, a set of broad-band (2-7.5 GHz) low-coupling (-30,-33,-35 dB) …
