Lange Couplers
The Lange Coupler is a four-port interdigitated structure originally developed by Dr. Julius Lange in 1969. They are a common RF/microwave circuit. The coupling is derived from closely spaced transmission lines, such as microstrip lines. With the introduction of Ion Beam Milling, SemiGen’s ability to consistently produce Lange Couplers with lines and spaces as small as 10 microns and controlled to tolerances of +/- 1 micron is a direct result of our anisotropic ion beam etching process.
