An original wideband two-layer substrate integrated waveguide directional coupler is presented. The structure provides attractive features including a flexible design with a wideband coupling and independent control of the transmission phase for arbitrary coupling levels. Characteristics of 18 dB isolation and 90° phase shift between direct and coupled ports are experimentally validated over 16% bandwidth.
