where K Z 1 /Z 2 and M Z 1 /Z o .
The total electrical length, T 2 1 2 , and the midline
electrical length 2 are plotted against M for different values of K
in Figure 3. These curves can be used to design the small size 3-dB
quadrature coupler shown in Figure 4. It is seen that the total
electrical length T decreases as K increases. The minimum length
can be obtained for the highest value of K and the optimum value
of M, as shown in Figure 3(a). However, the choice of M and K
should be limited by the highest and lowest characteristic impedances that can be realized with the use of the selected technology.
Following similar steps, the parameters of the second structure,
in Figure 5 can be obtained by equating the ABCD matrices of the
circuit in Figure 1(c) to that in Figure 1(a), with the use of (1) and
(3). The equivalence results are summarized by
