Abstract
Coupled line structures for wideband applications are provided herein. In certain embodiments, a coupled line structure includes one transmission line that is segmented in a metal layer and another that is substantially continuous in the metal layer, thereby allowing tighter spacing and higher coupling between the transmission lines relative to what is achievable if both transmission lines were continuous. The high coupling in turn aids in achieving wide bandwidth.
