A new design of wideband branch-line coupler (BLC) using T-shape with open stub microstrip line is proposed. The branch line coupler is integrated with low and high impedance ?/4 transmission lines to achieve the comparatively compact size of (27.2 mm × 16.5 mm). Operating the bandwidth in simulated...
