I wanted to design a 30 dB&nbsp;2.4 GHz stripline coupler in HFSS and have followed this tutorial from ANSYS: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=mEUH04A551c&amp;t=160s&amp;pp=ygUYaGZzcyBkaXJlY3Rpb25hbCBjb3VwbGVy<br \/>Because I wanted to do a 2.4 GHz version, I have used the TRL in ANSYS circuit to calculate the exact width, gap size and length and put them in the HFSS design. These are my screenshots for the design and setups:<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/27-03-2024-1711527213-sparam_30db.png\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"font-size: 14pt\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/27-03-2024-1711527160-design_30db.png\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>Now, when I try to put this design into ANSYS circuit and see if it works as a reflectometer, I have created this circuit:<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/27-03-2024-1711527326-circuit_30db.png\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>I have checked the ports and they are right. Then, I have sweeped the frequency to see the frequency response of the reflection coefficient which is added as an output variable as &#8220;max(V(reflected))\/max(V(transmitted))&#8221;. This is the result of it:<br \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/27-03-2024-1711527495-refl_30db.png\" alt=\"\"><br \/>It is a bit confusing graph but it can be seen that the coupler is not working so well even in 100 MHz difference. To compare the results with the stripline coupler from the ANSYS Circuit TRL, I have created the same circuit using the stripline element from there and the results were so close to correct value even in the 5GHz range. What do you suggest? What could be the reason for this? Can I get a good directional coupler close to the TRL one or my coupler is what it can possibly best become?
