Does anybody can give some RF PCB material selection guide?
Or maybe give us the tips about how to choose the PCB material while we design RF board?

Hello Richard,
Based on the questions you have put forth, It looks like you might be missing a little bit on your understanding of RF theory. Radio propagation is a little different then low frequency theory. Velocity should not be something you need to consider. However the length of the trace might be an issue depending on a variety of factors.
It might not be a good idea to build this board without some help. The devil is in the details. If you like I am available for the next month or so until I start my next project in March. I can give you a hand reviewing your design and helping you get on the right track.
Give me a call or drop me an email if you are interested. www.pinterec.ca

Richard - Take a look at the book:
By: TC Edwards
On Amazon you can search the table of contents and it has a nummber of chapters and presents Coupler Design Equations.

Steve, I have got the book "Foundations of Interconnect and Microstrip Design" and this is a wonderful book with all needed explanations, E & H propagation fields, guide lines and so on...
I put the first 15 pages of this book on line as a pdf file for anyone who would like to have a look on the content....
Thanks to Chris as well for his proposal to check my drawing on the VSWR-meter project before starting any manufacturing if any need...
I will try to extract the substantial matter of this book to reach my goal. Some working weeks are needed to swallow such a "Bible"...
