  • Method for adjusting the coupling factor of a strip line directional coupler and a strip line directional coupler
    Patent number: 6573806
    Abstract: A strip line directional coupler includes a controlled amount of potting compound applied to establish a desired coupling factor between at least two cooperating strip lines. In one embodiment the strip line directional coupler is positioned in a housing that is filled with the potting compound until the desired coupling factor is established. A network analyzer monitors the coupling factor as the potting compound is added. Once the desired coupling factor is established, the flow of potting compound into the housing is automatically terminated.
