Couplers are disclosed that include first and second mutually coupled
conductors. The coupled conductors may be regular or irregular in
configuration, and for example, may be linear, including rectilinear or
with one or more curves, bends or turns, such as forming a ring, coil,
spiral or other loop. One or more sections of a coupler may be on
different levels and separated by a dielectric medium, such as air or a
dielectric substrate. Coupled conductors may be facing each other on the
same or spaced-apart dielectric surfaces, such as opposing surfaces of a
common substrate, and each conductor may include one or more portions on
each side or surface of a substrate. In some examples, a coupler may
include plural coupled sections, with conductors in one section being
only broadside coupled, and conductors in another section being
edge-coupled.
