ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for providing adaptive control of the output of a radio frequency coupler. Adaptive control may include providing a transmission line having a plurality of branches extending therefrom and terminating, correspondingly, with a plurality of terminals and terminating, at its opposite end, with a single terminal, as well as, providing one or more proximate transmission lines inductively coupled with the transmission line and each having an input terminal at one end. Application of one or more input signals, respectively, to the one or more proximate transmission lines can adaptively control, via the inductive coupling, either a combination signal which is produced from a plurality of incoming signals when received at the plurality of terminals and is output from the single terminal or a plurality of outgoing signals which are produced from an incoming signal when received at the single terminal and divided among the plurality of branches and which are output from the plurality of terminals.
