Designs of Branch-Line Couplers by Considering the Parasitic Effects of P-I-N Diodes

Branch-line couplers (BLCs) are commonly used in the wireless systems. To achieve reconfigurable applications, switchable BLCs with p-i-n diodes can be used. Several studies have used diode parasitic reverse-biased capacitor and forward-biased inductor to approach off and on states. Although the cap...
