A Novel Multifunctional EBG-Based Coupled-Line-Defect Directional Coupler Based on Layered Dielectric Substrates
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this paper, a novel multifunctional coupler based on line-defect layered electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) waveguides is proposed and studied. Extensive full-wave simulations are used to establish the critical nature of the coupling region for the realization of different functionalities of the coupler. Changing the separation between the rings or orientation of the rings in the coupling and/or channel regions leads to very interesting and unique coupling mechanisms, such as forward-wave, through-wave, and/or backward-wave quasi-0- and 3-dB couplers that distinguish the proposed topology from conventional proximity directional couplers. In the final analysis, one can switch between configurations by changing the orientation of the rings in the coupling region. These configurations with coplanar-slot-line feeding structures are fabricated and tested at X-band for demonstration purposes. Measurement results validated the design procedure and confirmed the general trends in simulations. The proposed EBG coupler is promising for beamforming matrix and antenna array feeding networks.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
