The isolated port of a 0/90 degree coupler is terminated by a novel complex termination impedance circuit having a reactance. The absolute value of the reactance is at least two ohms. The coupler receives a signal on its input port, and outputs a first signal on its first output port and a second signal on its second output port. A first load is coupled to the first output port without an intervening matching network. A substantial impedance mismatch exists between the first output port and the first load. A second load is coupled to the second output port without an intervening matching network. A substantial impedance mismatch exists between the second output port and the second load. Despite the substantial impedance mismatches, the first and second signals have a phase difference in a range of from 88 degrees to 92 degrees while exhibiting an amplitude imbalance less than 2 dB.
