This letter describes a method for improving the directivity of the edge-coupled microstrip couplers; the coupler is made up of the suspended microstrip lines. The gap between the dielectric substrate and the ground plane is adjusted to get equal mode velocities under perfect matching conditions. Design data for optimum structure and experimental results are presented and discussed.
