Abstract:
1. A cascaded directional couplers circuit comprising: a first directional coupler having an input port electrically connected to an output port through a first coupling element and a coupled port connected to an isolated port through a second coupling element, the first coupling element to pass a first RF signal having a frequency of a first frequency band, the second coupling element to couple the first RF signal passed by the first coupling element; and a second directional coupler having an input port electrically connected to an output port through a first coupling element and a coupled port connected to an isolated port through a second coupling element, the first coupling element to pass a second RF signal having a frequency of a second frequency band, the second coupling element to couple the second RF signal passed by the first coupling element of the second directional coupler, the first directional coupler being capacitively connected to the second directional coupler through a capacitor connected between the coupled port of the first directional coupler and the isolated port of the second directional coupler.
