A waveguide 2-plane hybrid coupler with two operating bands is proposed. The cross-sectional shape of the coupled region inside the proposed coupler is designed with a two-dimensional arbitrary geometry sorting method. Simulations of the proposed hybrid coupler has a fractional bandwidth (FBW) of 2.17% at the center of 24.99GHz, and at the center of 28.28GHz an FBW of 6.13%. The proposed coupler is analyzed by the mode-matching finite-element hybrid method, and the final result is obtained using a genetic algorithm. The analyzed result of the coupling for the main modes in the coupled region is presented. The design result is confirmed by measurements.
