Abstract
A directional coupler includes a main line, sub lines, and a multilayer substrate. The multilayer substrate includes dielectric layers. The multilayer substrate has a first and a second principal surface. The main line, the first, second, and third sub lines are each formed in a looped shape in plan view from a thickness direction of the multilayer substrate, and are provided to different dielectric layers among the dielectric layers. The first, second, and third sub lines have first distances different from each other. Among the first, second sub line, and third sub lines, the longest sub line having the longest first distance and the shortest sub line having the shortest first distance are disposed on the first principal surface of the main line, and the intermediate sub line having the intermediate first distance is disposed on the second principal surface of the main line.
