Simultaneous transmit-and-receive (STAR) radios enable higher spectrum efficiency and dynamic spectrum access. The integration of a shared antenna interface is attractive for small system formfactor and MIMO channel estimation and has led to demonstrations of compact reciprocal (electrical balance duplexers (EBD)) and nonreciprocal (circulator) interfaces with self-interference cancellation (SIC) [1-5]. In this paper, we address the challenge of low-noise wideband SIC by demonstrating a wideband hybrid-coupler-circulator antenna interface using N-path mixers that achieves low NF while preserving the linearity of passive-mixer-first RX. The 0.55-to-0.9GHz hybrid-coupler-based circulator-RX achieves 2.7dB NF at 750MHz with +14dBm OOB IIP3 as part of an antenna interface that achieves 2.6-to-4.1dB TX→ANT insertion loss (IL) from 550 to 900MHz. The wideband coupler approach provides >40dB TX-to-RX
