An electronic device may include transmit path that carries a signal. A reconfigurable signal coupler may be disposed on the transmit path and may include a signal path and a coupled path. Measurement circuitry may use the signal coupler to measure power of the signal. The signal path may be formed from at least a first winding in a first metallization layer. The coupled path may be formed from at least a second winding in a second metallization layer, a third winding in a third metallization layer, and a stack of additional windings surrounded by the first, second, and third windings. The signal coupler may include first and second conductors and a switch between the first and second conductors. Control circuitry may adjust switches in the signal coupler to switch between using the first and second conductors or only the second conductor in the coupled path.
