    The document discusses several designs and methodologies for implementing compact 180° hybrid couplers including designs based on Wilkinson power dividers, using phase inverters, folded line configurations, and artificial transmission lines with left-handed materials.

    180° hybrid couplers have applications in balanced mixers, balanced amplifiers, power multipliers/dividers, and antenna feeding networks.

    The limitations of conventional rat-race hybrid couplers include size, especially the length of the 270° section, and bandwidth since the phase variation increases with line length.
