A novel design of compact six-port circuit is proposed for millimeter-wave integrated system design. All the structure is based on the use of an elliptic coupler with certain geometrical characteristics. The prototype circuit occupies only 66.5 % of the size of the conventional six-port junction at the same frequency. To examine the performance of the proposed circuit, the six-port using multilayer technology is simulated using Momentum (ADS) and CST software. Simulation results of magnitude and phase show a good performance. The results are compared with a six-port circuit using a single-layer and a notable improvement in bandwidth performance is shown.
