-/* desgin_coupler does two very different things in the one program
-1) Given a frequency range, the required coupling factor, it calcuates
-the odd and even mode impedances needed for a coupler. It does this
-assuming the length of the coupler is lambda/4, although you can vary
-that on the command line with the -l option.
-
-2) Once the optimal values for the even and odd mode impedances are
-found, it itteratively looks up the odd and even mode impedances for two
-think lines of various widths (w) and spacings (s), looking for the
-combination that gives the best rms error between the required
-impedances and those that will result with the coupler design as
-presented.
-
-It is assumed by default that the height of the box is of one unit (1
-mm, 1" etc, but this may be changed on the command line. This will scale
-the parameters w and s by the same multiple.
