A new approach to the synthesis of broadband branch-line couplers with arbitrary coupling level was investigated in this paper. It was shown that the operational bandwidth of a classic branch-line coupler can be increased by utilizing N-section impedance transformers added to each of the coupler’s ports. Furthermore, the obtained response can be approximated by the Chebyshev polynomial. Moreover, it was proven that for such couplers a range of coupling coefficient values can be obtained by the modification of classic branch-line topology. The analysis of the electrical parameters of the proposed branch-line couplers was comprehensively investigated. To verify the correctness of the proposed design procedures, 3-dB, and 6-dB broadband branch-line couplers operating at the center frequency of 2 GHz having return losses greater than 20 dB were designed, fabricated, and measured.
