    The document summarizes an experiment to verify the properties of a 4-port 180° coupler, also known as a rat race coupler, using AWR microwave software. Key specifications of the coupler are provided. Measurement results at 3.2GHz are tabulated and plotted. Calculations show the coupler has high isolation of -64.47dB, directivity of -61.42dB, coupling of -3.0462dB, and return loss of -48.589dB, verifying its matched, lossless, and reciprocal properties. Phase differences between ports are found to be approximately 90° as expected.

    AIM:-

    The main aim of the task is to verify the properties of the 4-port
    transmission network
    TOOL USED:
    AWR microwave software
    SPECIFICATIONS:
    Er=4.4
    T=0.05mm
    H=0.8mm
    f=3.2GHz
    Tand=0.002
    Zo=50 ohm
    TABULATION:

    ANGLE PLOT:

    CALCULATION:
    At f=3.2GHz,
    S112+S212+S312+S412=0.98825(values are taken from tables above)
    Isolation=20log|1/S41|=--64.47db
    Directivity=20log|S31/S41|=--61.42db
    Coupling=-20log|S31l|=-3.0462db
    Return loss=-20log|S11|=-48.589db

    Result:1) Reciprocal:-S12=S21, S13=S31, S23=S32, S24=S42, S34=S43


    2) Matched:-S11=S33, S22=S44
    3) Lossless: - S112+S122+S132+S142=0.98825
    4) Phase difference at f=3.2GHz:S24= 90.003, <S34= -89.997
    <S24-<S34= 180
    Thus different properties are successfully verified.
