ABSTRACT:
An RF directional coupler includes dual binocular ferrite cores. The dual cores are positioned back-to-back, such that the adjacent surfaces of each core contact each other. Each core has two generally cylindrical holes that extend through the core. Each hole preferably extends longitudinally through each respective core and is parallel to each other hole. One core is called the "main core" and the other core is called the "return core". Wire windings enter the coupler from the printed circuit board from the bottom of the coupler. A winding enters one hole in the main core and exits the hole on the top of the coupler. The winding then enters the corresponding hole in the return core from the top of the coupler. The winding then proceeds downwardly and exits the hole in the return core at the bottom of the coupler. After exiting the return core, the winding may then again enter the hole in the main core or may connected to a connection port on the printed circuit board. In this manner, the windings are not required to exit the main core and then return to the main core by looping around the outside of the main core. Instead, the windings return to the main core through holes in the return core.
