Abstract
A coupler () having a first line () and a second line () also comprises a resonant structure () including a capacitor () and an inductor (). The coupler () thus delivers a coupling signal Sthat is substantially frequency independent over a frequency domain above the resonance frequency of the resonant structure (). Also, the signal Shas a high degree of directivity. The coupler () can be provided as part of an integrated electronic component, such as a multilayer substrate, a thin-film module or an IC. It can be applied in an electronic device () between a power amplifier () and an antenna (). The coupling signal Swill thus be provided to a controlling circuit ().
