In this paper, a new 3-dB branch-line coupler using PDMS substrate and Shieldit Super fabric conductive material is presented. The Shieldit Super fabric has low resistance less than 0.1/sq. and resulting in good conductivity. Both the simulated and fabricated coupler circuits demonstrated a 3 ± 1 dB...
