Abstract:
A directional coupler includes a main line through which a first signal in a first frequency band and a second signal in a second frequency band pass from a first port to a second port, a sub-line electromagnetically coupled to the main line and having a third port and a fourth port, the third port outputting a first coupled signal corresponding to the first signal and a second coupled signal corresponding to the second signal, a first termination circuit connected to the fourth port and used in outputting the first coupled signal, a second termination circuit connected to the fourth port and used in outputting the second coupled signal, and a first filter circuit disposed between the fourth port and the first termination circuit, wherein the first filter circuit has frequency characteristics allowing the first coupled signal to pass therethrough and attenuating the second coupled signal.
