Abstract
A directional coupler for the directional transmission of high-frequency signals provides at least three lines and at least three ports. Two lines of the three lines are connected in a conductive manner at least at their ends. A third line is arranged between the two first lines and coupled to the latter in an electromagnetic manner. In this context, the high-frequency signal is transmitted from the third line to the first line and second line. The coupling is implemented via a coupling gap.
Claims9
A directional coupler with at least three lines and at least three ports for the directional transmission of high-frequency signals, wherein a first line and a second line are connected in a conductive manner at least at their two ends,
- wherein:
- a third line is arranged between the first line and the second line,
- the third line is coupled in an electromagnetic manner to the first line and to the second line, so that the high-frequency signal is transmitted from the first and second line to the third line, and
- the coupling of the third line to the first line and the second line is implemented via at least one coupling gap.
