Abstract:
A directional coupler includes first and second transmission lines, first and second coupling lines, a termination resistor, a coupling signal output terminal, and an impedance-adjusting circuit. The first coupling line is electromagnetically coupled to the first transmission line. The second coupling line is connected in series with the first coupling line and is electromagnetically coupled to the second transmission line. The termination resistor is connected to an end portion of the first coupling line that is on the opposite side from the end portion of the first coupling line that is connected to the second coupling line. The coupling signal output terminal is connected to an end portion of the second coupling line that is on the opposite side from the end portion of the second coupling line that is connected to the first coupling line. The impedance-adjusting circuit is connected between the first and second coupling lines.

Claim (Index 8):
The directional coupler according to  claim 2 , further comprising:\n a multilayer substrate in which a plurality of dielectric layers are stacked on top of one another and on which the first transmission line, the second transmission line, the first coupling line, and the second coupling line are formed, wherein the multilayer substrate includes a first dielectric layer on which the first transmission line and the second transmission line are formed, and a second dielectric layer on which the first coupling line and the second coupling line are formed, wherein the first transmission line and the second transmission line are arranged at different positions on the first dielectric layer, wherein the first coupling line is formed at a position on the second dielectric layer that overlaps the first transmission line when the first dielectric layer and the second dielectric layer are stacked on top of each other directly or with at least one dielectric layer therebetween, and wherein the second coupling line is formed at a position on the second dielectric layer that overlaps the second transmission line when the first dielectric layer and the second dielectric layer are stacked on top of each other directly or with at least one dielectric layer therebetween.
