6 specific points to explain the coupling ratio of a directional coupler
The coupling ratio of a directional coupler is determined by the gap spacing (0.1-1mm for 3-30dB coupling), conductor geometry (edge-coupled lines yield 6-20dB), substrate permittivity (εᵣ=2.2-10.8 affects coupling ±3dB), frequency (varies ±1dB across 2-18GHz), manufacturing tolerance (±0.5dB for precision CNC-machined units), and load matching (VSWR>2.0 can degrade ratio by 2dB). What Coupling Ratio Means The […]
