Abstract
A directional coupler includes a conductor serving as a primary line disposed in a multilayer body and conductors serving as a plurality of secondary lines that are disposed in the multilayer body and each of which is capable of being electromagnetically coupled to the conductor serving as the primary line. A facing area where the conductor serving as the secondary line and the conductor serving as the secondary line face each other is smaller than a facing area where the conductor serving as the secondary line and the conductor serving as the primary line face each other. A distance between the conductor serving as the secondary line and the conductor serving as the secondary line is longer than a distance between the conductor serving as the secondary line and the conductor serving as the primary line.
