Systems and methods for a coupling device are shown. In various embodiments, a variable frequency divider comprises a first transmission line and a second transmission line. The first transmission line may comprise a first and a second end. The first end may comprise a first terminal and the second end may comprise a first branch and a second branch. The first transmission line may be configured to receive a first signal at a first frequency at the first terminal and divide the first signal to output the divided first signal at the first branch and the second branch. The second transmission line may be proximate the first transmission line and configured to receive a second signal at a second frequency to control the frequencies of the output divided first signal at the first branch and the second branch through electromagnetic influence between the first transmission line and the second transmission line.

Variable power coupling device

An apparatus and method for providing adaptive control of the output of a radio frequency coupler. Adaptive control may include providing a transmission line having a plurality of branches extending therefrom and terminating, correspondingly, with a plurality of terminals and terminating, at its opposite end, with a single terminal, as well as, providing one or more proximate transmission lines inductively coupled with the transmission line and each having an input terminal at one end. Application of one or more input signals, respectively, to the one or more proximate transmission lines can adaptively control, via the inductive coupling, either a combination signal which is produced from a plurality of incoming signals when received at the plurality of terminals and is output from the single terminal or a plurality of outgoing signals which are produced from an incoming signal when received at the single terminal and divided among the plurality of branches and which are output from the plurality of terminals.

An apparatus and method for providing adaptive control of the output of a radio frequency coupler. A plurality of input signals is provided to a multi-prong divider/combiner, the divider/combiner having a first and a second input terminals communicating a first and a second input signals with a first and a second prong of the divider/combiner, the divider/combiner dividing/combining said signals into at least one output signal. A first auxiliary signal is provided to a receiving terminal of a first transmission line, the first transmission line electromagnetically manipulating signal transmission in the first prong such that a first manipulated signal is substantially different in magnitude than the first input signal and dividing/combining the manipulated signal and the second input signal to provide a controlled output signal.
