ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a coupler built on a semiconductor substrate, e.g. GaAs. Semiconductor processing allows for small trace and space rules. The tighter design rules provide for tighter coupling than can be achieved by ceramic processes. The greater coupling allows for a shorter through line and with less loss, thus closer to ideal coupling.
