Abstract
A surface mountable thin-film coupler may include a monolithic base substrate and a plurality of ports formed over the monolithic base substrate. The surface mountable thin-film coupler may include at least one thin-film component connected with at least one port of the plurality of ports. The surface mountable thin-film coupler may provide a coupling factor that is greater than −5 dB and less than −1 dB over a coupling frequency range having a lower bound that is greater than 1 GHz and an upper bound that is at least 200 MHz greater than the lower bound. A footprint of the coupler may be less than about 3 mm.
