Abstract

A coupling circuit, including: a coupler including a first conductive line and a second conductive line coupled to the first one; at each end of the second line of the coupler, a two-output signal splitter; and at each output of each splitter, a filtering function.

Claims (14)

1. A coupling circuit comprising:

a coupler comprising a first conductive line and a second conductive line coupled to the first conductive line;

at each end of the second line of the coupler, a two-output signal splitter; and

at each output of each splitter, a filtering function.

2. The circuit of claim 1 , wherein the first conductive line of the coupler is intended to be interposed on a transmission line of a radio transmit-receive chain.

3. The circuit of claim 1 , wherein the respective outputs of the filtering functions are connected to detection circuits, respectively assigned to different radio transmit-receive paths.

4. The circuit of claim 1 , wherein first outputs of each splitter are processed by a low-pass filter.

5. The circuit of claim 4 , wherein second outputs of each splitter are processed by a correction filter.

6. A radio transmission chain comprising:

two paths sharing a same antenna; and

a coupling circuit including:

a coupler comprising a first conductive line and a second conductive line; coupled to the first conductive line;

at each end of the second line of the coupler, a two-output signal splitter; and

at each output of each splitter, a filtering function.
