Abstract
An experimental investigation of a novel compact microstrip 180 degrees rin g hybrid incorporating a one-dimensional (1-D) slow-wave structure, in the form of perforation on the ring itself, is presented. The size of the hybri d is reduced by 23% due to the slow-wave effect, and this size reduction te chnique has potential applications in MICs and MMICs, The measured insertio n loss is comparable to that of a conventional microstrip hybrid.
