Ultra-Wideband Compact Millimeter-Wave Printed Ridge Gap Waveguide Directional Couplers for 5G Applications
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A compact ultra-wideband printed ridge gap waveguide directional couplers for millimeter-wave applications are presented in this paper. A multi-layer coupling technique between two resonant patches is adopted to achieve a wider operating bandwidth with better amplitude and phase balance compared to single-layer technology. For this purpose, a systematic design procedure is deployed to achieve several coupling values in the range of 3-10 dB over a wide frequency bandwidth centered at 30 GHz. A 3-dB hybrid coupler is fabricated and measured, where a bandwidth of 12 GHz (about 38 % fractional bandwidth) from 25 GHz to 37 GHz is achieved. In addition, the phase balance is 90° ± 5° over 38% fractional bandwidth with an amplitude balance of 3.4 ± 0.5 dB over a 26.5% centered at 30 GHz. The proposed couplers with superior characteristics such as compactness, low loss, and low dispersion are considered a good candidate for millimeter-wave applications such as the fifth-generation (5G) wireless communications.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
