description This article introduces a novel two‐section frequency‐tunable branch line coupler, which is realized by inserting a narrow band frequency‐tunable phase inverter into a wideband two‐section branch line coupler's middle branch line. Such frequency‐tunable method is different from the conventional one. Furthermore, in this bias feeding design, there are only one control voltage, two varactors, two resistors, and two capacitors are utilized. The measured results show that the operation frequency of the branch line coupler can be tuned from 0.73 to 1.33 GHz, and the return loss is >20 dB, the isolation >20 dB, the amplitude imbalances
