COUPLERS
•Passive device that divides and distributes power.
•Couples part of the transmission power by a known amount out through another port.
•Uses two transmission lines set close enough together such that energy passing through one is coupled to the other.
Couplers is a device having 4 port , which couples the power from input port, to two out ports, while the fourth port is isolated.

Directional Couplers
• Symmetric Device• Directional couplers
• Ports 1&2 are Primary ports• Ports 3&4 are Secondary ports
•Power is defined to a specific direction, while no power is reflected back at any port.•Power is divided between transmitted port and coupled port

Forward Coupling
• Energy that propagates down transmission line starts a parallel wave down to
transmission line 2 . • Most common forward coupler is the multi-hole coupler realized in waveguide. • In this case the holes are spaced a quarter wave apart.• Asymmetric multi-section coupled structures provide forward-wave, in-phase
response. [15]

Backward Coupling
• Reverse coupler• Energy that propagates down transmission line starts a reverse wave down to
transmission line 2.• Single-section coupled transmission lines are always backward-wave couplers
(and outputs are in quadrature)• Example: Lange coupler• Symmetric multi-section couplers provide backward-wave, quadrature
response. [15]

Key Specifications
The key specifications for a directional coupler relay on its purpose. Each of them should be carefully evaluated to ensure that the meet assemble its intended use.

9
Coupling Factor
• Indicates the fraction of input power that is coupled to the output port.
• Coupling is not constant, but varies with frequency.• Coupling values of 10 and 20 dB are most common. • Larger the coupling value smaller the coupled power.

![Page 10: Microwave Coupler](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061419/55ce68bfbb61eb58358b47d4/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
10
Coupling Factor
• Directional couplers are specified in terms of the coupling accuracy at the frequency band centre.
• The accuracy is due to dimensional tolerances that can be held for the spacing of the two coupled lines.
• Another coupling specification is frequency sensitivity.
• A larger frequency sensitivity will allow a larger frequency band of operation.

11
Isolation Factor• Defined as the difference in signal levels in dB between the input
port and the isolated port when the two other ports are terminated by matched loads.
• Also defined between the two output ports. In this case, one of the output ports is used as the input; the other is considered the output port while the other two ports (input and isolated) are terminated by matched loads.

12
Isolation Factor
• The isolation among the input and the isolated ports may be dissimilar from the isolation between the two output ports.
• For example, the isolation between ports 1 and 4 can be 30 dB while the isolation between ports 2 and 3 can be a different value such as 25 dB.
• Isolation can be estimated from the coupling plus return loss.
• Larger the bandwidth, higher the frequency, difficult to provide Isolation.
• Higher the isolation, better the performance (Ideally Infinite)

13
Directivity
• Indicates the coupler’s ability to isolate the forward and backward waves.
• How well the forward travelling wave in the primary couples only to a specific port in secondary.
where P3 is the output power from the coupled port and P4 is the power output from the isolated port.
• The directivity should be as high as possible (Ideally Infinite).

14
Directivity
• The directivity is very high at the designed frequency • More sensitive function of frequency because it depends
on the cancellation of two wave components.
• Waveguide directional couplers will have the best directivity.

Main line loss

• Ratio of input power through Input port (port1) to power out of the Through Port(port 2).

Coupling loss:
• Indicates the portion of Mainline loss that is due to coupling some of the input power into the coupling port.
• This loss is unavoidable • Very small value

Insertion loss
Additional loss Causes: • reflections, • dielectric absorption, • radiation effects, • and conductor losses
Broadband designs tend to have higher insertion losses.
Causes:• accumulate more dielectric, • Reflection loss• radiation, and • conductor losses 1) skin effect 2) surface roughness

Two couplers in series, in opposing directions, with the isolated ports internally terminated.
This component is the basis for the reflectometer.
Using internal, well-matched loads helps remove errors
with poor terminations that might be present in real systems.

A hybrid coupler is a special case, where a 3 dB split is desired between the through path and the coupled path.
Hybrid couplers
There are two types of hybrid couplers
90 degree couplers
and 180 degree hybrids (such as rat-races and magic tees).

• 3 dB coupler divides the power equally (within a certain tolerance) between the output and coupled output ports
Quadrature hybrid couplers
90° Hybrids or hybrid couplers are basically 3 dB directional couplers in which the phase of the coupled output signal and the output signal are 90° apart.
Application: 1) Variable attenuators2) Microwave mixers3) Modulators

• Directional coupler is ideally matched at all ports.
• In waveguide technology, bethe hole couplers and multihole couplers are widely used.
