Title:
RADIO FREQUENCY POWER SENSOR HAVING A NON-DIRECTIONAL COUPLER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/168861
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Disclosed is a capacitive non-directional coupler having a non-directional coupler printed circuit board (PCB) and a capacitive attenuator. The non-directional coupler PCB includes a coupler section configured to carry energy travelling on a main transmission line. The non-directional coupler PCB and the capacitive attenuator are configured as a capacitive voltage divider, and provide a sample of the energy on the main transmission line. Also disclosed is a method for measuring for measuring RF power using an RF power sensor having the capacitive non-directional coupler that includes with the non-directional coupler printed circuit board and the capacitive attenuator. Also disclosed is an RF power metering system that includes an RF power sensor having the capacitive non-directional coupler.
