Disclosed is a directional coupler circuit that has improved performance in the areas of directivity and frequency range, when compared with conventional directional couplers. The disclosed directional coupler circuit improves performance in at least two ways. The first is by the use of the voltage operational amplifier that unloads the capacitive voltage divider. The second is using forward and reflected transimpedance operational amplifier circuits to provide a short circuit to the coupling coil, namely a forward direction current sample circuit having a forward transimpedance operational amplifier and a reflected direction current sample circuit having a reflected transimpedance operational amplifier.
