S. Francois et al., HORIZONTAL DIRECTIONAL COUPLER FILTER SUITABLE FOR INTEGRATION IN A 1.3(+) 1.3(-)MU-M DUPLEXER/, Electronics Letters, 31(23), 1995, pp. 2002-2003
The authors report the design and first realisation of a grating-assis
ted horizontal directional coupler filter exibiting a highly reduced p
olarisation sensitivity (below 1 dB on the filtered channel) and a hig
h sidelobe suppression ratio (>25 dB for both polarisations). This fil
ter is particulary suitable for integration in a 1.3(+)/1.3(-)mu m dup
lexer.
