Many RF test and measurement applications require the use of directional couplers, whether standalone or as an integral part of test instruments such as directional wattmeters. Typically, a ...
RF couplers are circuits that sample RF transmissions by combining (coupling) signals asymmetrically. There three basic types of devices: unidirectional, bidirectional, and dual directional.
Unidirectional The single directional coupler is a 3-port device that has a main line input and output and a coupled line that has a coupled output and an internal termination on the 4th port. Power ...
