This article first presents a frequency‐selectable branch‐line hybrid coupler.To provide a frequency‐selection function, a dual‐band band‐pass transmission‐line transformer (TLT) with a frequency selective function is used. This is achieved by replacing a dual‐band TLT with a variable capacitively loaded spur‐line filter. The technique is demonstrated with a design at 0.8 and 1.75 GHz. Measured S‐parameter results confirm the validity of the technique. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 55:1661–1663, 2013; View this article online at wileyonlinelibrary.com.
