A coupler, in particular a resistive coupler,
- wherein a sum port and/or at least two dividing ports are arranged on a substrate,
- wherein all ports are at least partially arranged at or in a connector,
- wherein resistors, which are adapted to sum and/or divide an incoming and/or outgoing signal, are arranged at or in the connector,
- wherein the connector comprises a central conductor,
- wherein the central conductor is connected to the at least one dividing port in a flat manner,
- wherein the connector is a coaxial connector comprising a shell and a dielectric material configured to separate the shell from the central conductor, wherein the shell of the connector is fixed to a reference-signal plane of the substrate, and/or
- wherein a body of the connector and the shell connected to the body of the connector are fixed to a reference-signal plane of the substrate.
