A quadrature coupler having: a pair of overlying strip conductors separated by a first dielectric layer to provide a coupling region between the coupling region of overlying strip conductors; a pair of opposing ground pads, the coupling region being disposed between the pair of opposing ground pads; a second dielectric layer disposed over the coupling region and between the pair of opposing ground pads; and an electrically conductive shield layer disposed over the second dielectric layer, extending over opposing sides of the dielectric layer and onto the pair of opposing ground pads. Portions of coupler are formed by printing or additive manufacturing.
