A design of a compact wideband quadrature coupler based on metamaterial is presented at 3.5 GHz. The quadrature coupler is a significant component in beamforming networks with problems of narrow bandwidth and bulky size. The proposed quadrature coupler is designed with the implementation of composite right/left-handed (CRLH) arms metamaterial transmission line (TL). The metamaterial fingers are implemented in each branch section to reduce the size and improve the bandwidth. The proposed coupler is simulated using CST software and then fabricated on the FR4 substrate with (εr=4.4 and h=1.6 mm). The coupler performance achieved a fractional bandwidth of 55.42% operated at 2.25 GHz to 4.19 GHz. The coupling factor at 3.5 GHz is -3 ±0.5 dB with a phase difference of 88.01°. Compared to conventional BLC, the proposed coupler achieved a size reduction of 40.43%. The proposed coupler is suitable to be used in future 5G beamforming applications.

Przedstawiono projekt kompaktowego szerokopasmowego sprzęgacza kwadraturowego opartego na metamateriałach dla częstotliwości 3,5 GHz. Sprzęgacz kwadraturowy jest istotnym elementem w sieciach kształtujących wiązkę z problemami związanymi z wąskim pasmem i nieporęcznymi rozmiarami. Proponowany sprzęgacz kwadraturowy został zaprojektowany z wykorzystaniem kompozytowej linii transmisyjnej metamateriałów (TL) ramion prawo/lewoskrętnych (CRLH). Palce metamateriałów są zaimplementowane w każdej sekcji odgałęzienia, aby zmniejszyć rozmiar i poprawić przepustowość. Proponowany łącznik jest symulowany za pomocą oprogramowania CST, a następnie wytwarzany na podłożu FR4 przy (εr=4,4 i h=1,6 mm). Wydajność sprzęgacza osiągnęła ułamkową przepustowość 55,42% przy pracy w zakresie od 2,25 GHz do 4,19 GHz. Współczynnik sprzężenia przy 3,5 GHz wynosi -3 ±0,5 dB przy różnicy faz 88,01°. W porównaniu z konwencjonalnym BLC, proponowany łącznik pozwolił zmniejszyć rozmiar o 40,43%. Proponowany sprzęgacz nadaje się do wykorzystania w przyszłych zastosowaniach kształtowania wiązki 5G.
