    Abstract: A band-switching network includes a dual-band balun and a switch network. The dual-band balun includes a first output and a second output. The switch network includes a first switch and a second switch in which an input to the first switch is coupled to the first output and an input to the second switch is coupled to the second balanced output. The dual-band balun further includes a primary coil, a first secondary coil and a second secondary coil in which the first secondary coil is coupled to the first balanced output and the second secondary coil is coupled to the second balanced output. In one embodiment, the primary coil and the first secondary coil are coupled by a first coupling factor k1, and the primary coil and the second secondary coil are coupled by a second coupling factor k2 that is different from the first coupling factor k1.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a device including a first line, a second line including a first section disposed on a first side of the first line and a second section disposed on a second side of the first line, the second side being opposite to the first side and the second section being separate from the first section by a distance, and at least one bridge electrically connecting an end of the first section with an end of the second section and extending across the first line. The device may be a directional coupler that achieves significantly higher directivity than conventional directional coupler structures, and hence, improves power detection accuracy.
