    Abstract: A hybrid coupler is disclosed. The hybrid coupler comprises a printed circuit board having a first metallization layer and a second metallization layer arranged below the first metallization layer. The first metallization layer comprises at least two input ports and at least two output ports. The hybrid coupler further comprises a plurality of couplers coupled adjacent to each other on the first metallization layer. Each coupler of the plurality of couplers comprises transmission traces electrically coupled with the transmission traces of an adjacent coupler and the transmission traces of the plurality of couplers extend between the input ports and the output ports of the first metallization layer. The hybrid coupler furthermore comprises a defective ground structure having a pre-defined shape defined in the second metallization layer below each coupling junction formed between the transmission traces of the plurality of couplers.

    Abstract: A phase shifter, which may include an input port configured to receive a radio frequency (RF) signal. The phase shifter may include a first conductive trace that is electrically connected to a first output port. The first output port may be configured to output a first phase-shifted sub-component of the RF signal. The phase shifter may include a wiper configured to couple the input port to the first conductive trace. The wiper may include a first conductive pad adapted to slide on the first conductive trace. The first conductive trace may include a first metal trace that has a plurality of slits formed therein where the metal is omitted. Each slit may include an enlarged portion formed along a length thereof. The enlarged portion of at least some of the slits may be formed at a tip end of the slit and/or at a middle of the length of the slit.
