Abstract
An electromagnetic coupler including: a substrate; and a first conductor mounted to the substrate for receiving a first electromagnetic signal, the first conductor having a first multiple arcuate edge; a second conductor mounted to the substrate, the second conductor being spaced apart from the first conductor and having a second multiple arcuate edge that is opposed to the first edge for generating in the second conductor a second electromagnetic signal that is derived from the first electromagnetic signal.
Claims23
An electromagnetic coupler including:
- a substrate;
- and
- a pair of spaced apart electromagnetically coupled conductors mounted on the substrate,
- wherein each of the electromagnetically coupled conductors includes:
- at least one connector for providing or receiving an electromagnetic signal;
- and
- a smooth wiggly inner edge for substantially equalising even and odd-mode velocities of the electromagnetic signal.
An electromagnetic coupler including:
- a substrate;
- a first conductor mounted to the substrate for receiving a first electromagnetic signal, the first conductor having a first multiple arcuate edge;
- and
- a second conductor mounted to the substrate, the second conductor being spaced apart from the first conductor and having a second multiple arcuate edge that is opposed to the first multiple arcuate edge for generating in the second conductor a second electromagnetic signal that is derived from the first electromagnetic signal.

An electromagnetic coupler including:
- a substrate;
- a first conductor mounted to the substrate for receiving a first electromagnetic signal, the first conductor having a first edge including a first plurality of connected arcuate formations;
- and
- a second conductor mounted to the substrate, the second conductor being spaced apart from the first conductor and having a second edge that is opposed to the first edge and includes a second plurality of connected arcuate formations,
- wherein:
- the first conductor and second conductor are configured such that a second electromagnetic signal is generated in the second conductor;
- and
- the second electromagnetic signal is derived from the first electromagnetic signal.
