摘要：

A low-cost and low-loss directional coupler implemented in the Silicon Image Guide (SIG) platform for high-end millimeter-wave and THz integrated systems is proposed. A novel idea of supporting beams is used for facilitating the high precision fabrication of such a monolithic structure. A 3-dB coupler is designed and simulated for working at the centre frequency of 150 GHz. The simulated average phase unbalance of the coupler within the range of 145-155 GHz is less than 1 degree. The proposed coupler is fabricated using a fast and mask-free laser micro-machining process. The measured insertion loss and 1-dB bandwidth of the coupler are <0.4 dB and 8 GHz, respectively.
