Reduction of microstrip FEXT plays an important role in microwave engineering, as microstrip coupled line backward couplers suffer from poor directivity when not compensated. In this article, Henning Mextorf presents a general approach to improve directivity which does not require a modification of the dimensions of the coupled line structure and provides closed form solutions for optimum capacitor values.
