ABSTRACT:
A multi-layered coupling device (FIG. 9) for coupling radio frequency (RF) energy on a transmission line (302) to a coplanar coupler. The coupling device includes a first coupling structure that is coplanar with the transmission line (302) and parallel plate structure (304) positioned a predetermined distance in a plane parallel to the transmission line (302). The parallel plate structure (304) is not physically connected to any other structure through the use of vias or the like. The parallel plate structure (304) is used to increase the coupling coefficient and directivity of the coplanar structure by being divided into a plurality of segments with varying dimensions to better control coupling capacitances.
