    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to directional couplers. In one embodiment, a directional coupler includes a first port, a second port, a third port, a first inductive element, a second inductive element, a first switchable path, and a second switchable path. The first inductive element is coupled between the first port and the second port, while the second inductive element is mutually coupled to the first inductive element. The first switchable path is configured to be opened and closed, wherein the first switchable path is coupled between a first location of the second inductive element and the third port. The second switchable path is configured to be opened and closed, wherein the second switchable path is coupled between a second location of the second inductive element and the third port. In this manner, a directivity of the directional coupler can be switched between a forward direction and a reverse direction.

    Abstract translation: 本公开一般涉及定向耦合器。 在一个实施例中,定向耦合器包括第一端口,第二端口,第三端口,第一感应元件,第二感应元件,第一可切换路径和第二可切换路径。 第一电感元件耦合在第一端口和第二端口之间,而第二电感元件相互耦合到第一电感元件。 第一可切换路径被配置为打开和关闭,其中第一可切换路径耦合在第二电感元件的第一位置和第三端口之间。 第二可切换路径被配置为打开和关闭,其中第二可切换路径耦合在第二电感元件的第二位置和第三端口之间。 以这种方式,定向耦合器的方向性可以在正向和反向之间切换。
