I would like to make a 90 degree hybrid so I can make four arm antennas and have them work properly.
I have no idea of how to go about doing this. Some other four arm antennas do include structures that do this but I dont understand them. Alternatively, are there any cheap broadband 90 degree hybrids available for SMD that cost under 10 each and are available in smaller quantities? (less than 10 at a time)
This would be for approximately 1.1 to perhaps 1.7 or ideally slightly more than 2.2 gHz Main usage would be fooling around, basically antenna experimentation using GPS and satellites as the test signals.
I should say here that for single frequency antennas, at lower frequencies, one can use a quarter wavelength stub made with higher impedance coax to get a 90 degree phase shift.. so its likely something similar could be done with microstrip for a single frequency antenna.
