A novel compact dual‐band balanced coupler with differential‐mode power division, broadband common‐mode, and common‐to‐differential‐mode conversion suppression is proposed. In these double‐functionality balanced‐coupler architectures, double‐sided parallel‐strip line 180° phase inverters are used to realize the broadband common‐mode rejection. Moreover, the frequency is tunable by changing the characteristic impedance of the transmission line. For practical verification, a balanced couplers ( ε r = 2.65, h = 0.5 mm, tan( δ D ) = 0.003) operation at 0.9/1.8 GHz is constructed in microstrip technology and tested.
