A novel ultra‐compact wide‐band microwave cross‐over using lumped components is presented for the first time. The proposed cross‐over is composed by inductors and capacitors, and the explicit design equations are derived based on the even–odd mode method. The size of the proposed cross‐over is 1 × 1 cm 2 , and the bandwidth is 20–30%. Full‐wave electromagnetic simulations are performed and an experimental prototype is fabricated to demonstrate the novel design concept. The measurement results match well with the theoretical and numerical results.
