A conventional microstrip directional coupler has poor isolation due to its unequal phase velocity between the even and odd modes. In this article, a compact dual‐stub microstrip directional coupler for the UHF RFID reader is proposed. The operating frequency band is 902–928 MHz. It is found that the coupler can obtain a good isolation of −65 dB at 920 MHz. Modeling and simulation results are also presented which are in good agreement with measurement data. © Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
