Abstract:
This disclosure includes embodiments of a tunable hybrid coupler. The tunable hybrid coupler includes a first inductive element having a first inductance, a second inductive element having a second inductance and mutually coupled to the first inductive element, a first variable capacitive element having a first variable capacitance, and a second variable capacitance having a second variable capacitance. The first variable capacitive element is coupled between a first port and a second port. The second variable capacitive element is coupled between a third port and a fourth port. The first inductive element is coupled from the first port to the third port, while the second inductive element is coupled from the second port to the fourth port. Accordingly, the tunable hybrid coupler may form an impedance matching network that is tunable to different radio frequency (RF) communication bands. The tunable hybrid coupler can be used in a tunable RF duplexer.
