A broadband left‐handed parallel‐line microstrip coupler is implemented by both electromagnetic simulation and actual fabrication. The circuit dimensions are smaller and more compact than those in previous studies and a thinner Duroid substrate of thickness h = 0.635 mm is used. Parametric studies were performed using IE3D, and fabrication was done via a Quick Circuit 7000 prototyping machine. The network‐analyser measurements indicate broad bandwidth coupling in the 6.5–7.7‐Ghz region. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
