摘要：

We introduce a branch-line coupler using discontinuous microstrip lines whose size is significantly reduced relative to the standard design. We manipulate the reactive characteristics of discontinuities in its microstrip lines to achieve a physical size reduction of almost 60% with comparable performance.
