DIRECTIONAL COUPLER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18353409 titled 'DIRECTIONAL COUPLER

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a directional coupler that splits an input signal into four output signals using couplers and phase shifters.

  • The coupler is connected to the input terminal and splits the input signal into two output signals.
  • The coupler also splits a signal from the terminal into two output signals.
  • The phase shifter, located between the terminal and the coupler, adjusts the phase of the signal from the terminal.
  • The phase shifter can either advance or delay the phase of the signal.
  • The phase difference between the output signals of the phase shifters is approximately 180°±10°.


Original Abstract Submitted

A directional coupler splits an input signal received by an input terminal into four signals to be output to output terminals. The directional coupler includes couplers and phase shifters. The coupler is connected to the input terminal and splits the input signal into two signals to be output to terminals. The coupler splits a signal from the terminal into two signals to be output to the output terminals. The coupler splits a signal from the terminal into two signals to be output to the output terminals. The phase shifter is connected between the terminal and the coupler and advances the phase of the signal from the terminal. The phase shifter is connected between the terminal and the coupler and delays the phase of the signal from the terminal. The phase difference between output signals of the phase shifters is 180°±10°.
