<p>In a circuit (1) comprising first and second transmission lines (11,12) with first and second line widths, the transmission lines (11,12) are coupled to each other via a coupling (13,14) with first and second coupling widths at its ends, such that a smaller one of the line widths and a larger one of the coupling widths are combined, and such that a larger one of the line widths and a smaller one of the coupling widths are combined. Such a coupling (13,14) introduces relatively small reflection coefficients, for example for distances between ends of the transmission lines (11,12) smaller than a wavelength of frequency signals to be exchanged via the transmission lines (11,12) and the coupling (13,14). The circuit (1) can then become more compact. The coupling (13,14) may comprise one single taper or may comprise a first taper (13) with a first, larger coupling width and a second taper (14) with a second, smaller coupling width.</p> |
