In this letter a novel λ/4 micromachined directional coupler is presented with a 10 μm benzocyclobutene (BCB) layer used to suspend one transmission line over another one in order to achieve a 3‐dB coupling. The coupler is centered at a frequency of 24 GHz. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 49: 1813–1814, 2007; Published online in Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com).
