  • Thru-line directional power sensor having microstrip coupler
    Patent number: 11415605
    Abstract: Disclosed is a directional coupler having a coupler, a forward resistive attenuator, a reflected resistive attenuator, a forward compensation capacitor, and a reflected compensation capacitor. A forward coupler side arm and reflected coupler side arm of the coupler are configured to obtain a sample of forward energy and a sample of reflected energy from the coupler transmission line section. The forward resistive attenuator and reflected resistive attenuator are configured to attenuate the sample of forward energy and the sample of reflected energy. The forward compensation capacitor and the reflected compensation capacitor are configured to receive the attenuated sample of forward energy and the attenuated sample of reflected energy and produce a frequency-compensated sample of forward energy and a frequency-compensated sample of reflected energy.

  • CHANNEL-SELECTIVE RF POWER SENSOR
    Publication number: 20180316444
    Abstract: Disclosed is a channel-selective RF power sensor having a coupler and a channel-selective power measurement circuit. The said coupler is configured to obtain a sample of energy travelling on a main transmission line and provide the sample of energy to the channel-selective power measurement circuit. The sample of energy has a channel of interest. The channel-selective power measurement circuit is configured to measure RF energy information for the channel of interest in the sample of energy. Also disclosed is a method of measuring RF energy information for a channel of interest. The method includes providing a channel-selective RF power sensor and a main transmission line and obtaining a sample of energy from the main transmission line using a coupler of the channel-selective RF power sensor.
