摘要：
A compact microstrip rat-race hybrid with a 50% bandwidth employing space-filling curves is reported in this letter. The footprint of the proposed design occupies 31% of the area of the conventional similar design. Across the frequency bandwidth, the maximum amplitude unbalance is 0.5 dB, the phase variation is +/- 5 degrees, the isolation is better than 25 dB and the return loss is greater than 10 dB. Moreover, the circuit is planar, easy to design, and consists of only one layer without requiring plated thru holes, slots or bonding wires.
