Abstract
A directional coupler having coupling variability at separate portions of an operational frequency band. The coupler may be comprised within a Full Duplex (FDX) amplifier and itself may comprise input and output ports, a coupled port, a termination port, a first RF filter coupled to the coupled port, and a second RF filter coupled to the termination port. The first and second RF filters yield a first coupling value at one portion of the operational frequency band of the coupler and a second coupling value at a second portion of the operational frequency band. The first portion of the band corresponds to a range of frequencies at which higher coupling for the coupler is desired and greater loss in the signal is tolerable. The second portion of the band corresponds to a range of frequencies at which lower coupling for the coupler is tolerable and lower signal loss is desirable.
