Abstract:
A bidirectional coupler includes the following elements. A main line and a sub-line are electromagnetically coupled. First and second resistors are each grounded at one end. First and second switches connect the sub-line to the first and second resistors or a third port. A third resistor is disposed between one end of the sub-line and the first switch or between the other end of the sub-line and the second switch. When detecting an input signal, the first switch electrically connects one end of the sub-line to the other end of the first resistor and the second switch electrically connects the other end of the sub-line to the third port. When detecting a reflected signal, the first switch electrically connects one end of the sub-line to the third port and the second switch electrically connects the other end of the sub-line to the other end of the second resistor.
