In this paper, new proposed compact 3dB Branch-Line Coupler (BLC) is designed and implemented using coupled line unit cells, that have the same properties as Dual Composite Right/Left-Handed (D-CRLH) unit cells. The Printed Circuit Board (PCB) technique is used for the fabrication without using lumped components or via holes. The size of the proposed BLC occupies only 52 % of the area of the conventional design to operate at 1.8 GHz. Two different simulators, CST Electromagnetic EM simulator, and ADS circuit simulator are used to simulate the proposed structure. The structure with optimum parameters is fabricated and the comparison between the measured and the simulation results shows very good agreement..

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
