Abstract
This chapter is dedicated to physical modeling and numerical characterization of directional coupler based on two coplanar lines using the general theory of coupled lines. The modeling in this chapter is two-dimensional due to the chosen numerical method (MOMs), for that purpose the analysis is divided into steps, we started by analyzing and modeling a micro-coplanar line in the quasi-TEM approximation using Green’s functions and the integral equation method then we conclude by using the telegraphist equations and the results of the first step to modeling a couple of micro-coplanar lines.
