A microstrip directional coupler with a microfluidic superstrate in the coupling gap is investigated.In the microfluidic channel, relative dielectric constant values ranging from ε r = 81 to ε r = 1, deionized water and air are studied, respectively. The tuning range of the coupler is evaluated experimentally and compared to its full‐wave simulation. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
