Abstract
Using the general coupled-mode formulation, it is shown that the interaction between a regular transmission line and a negative-refractive-index (NRI) line leads to complex coupled modes. Specifically the coupling between a regular microstrip (MS) and a NRI line is analyzed and the theory reveals conditions giving rise to high directivity. Experimental results are presented for a fully printed MS/NRI coupled-line coupler exhibiting a coupling level of -27dB, isolation of -72dB, and directivity of 45dB at the design frequency of 2.04GHz. Such low-coupling levels but high-directivity couplers are well suited for signal monitoring and instrumentation applications.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
