Coupler
Application Guide
Directional coupler is commonly used for sampling microwave signals in specified flows. In the absence of the load, directional coupler is usually a 4-port network. Generally adopting parallel coupling lines, the length of coupling zone is an integral multiple of one-fourth wavelength. Coupler's direct output is not adjacent structurally to the coupling port, with discrepancy of output phase of 90 degrees or 180 degrees. The remaining port is called isolation port, which does not export any energy theoretically.
