Power Dividers and Directional Couplers: Matrix Identity S, 0 0 0

This document discusses power dividers and directional couplers. It defines key parameters such as directivity, coupling, isolation and provides equations for calculating these parameters from S-parameters. It describes different types of directional couplers including hybrid, magic T, branch line and parallel coupled line couplers. Key aspects of their design and operating principles are covered including even and odd mode analysis. Multi-element and Chebyshev couplers are also summarized as methods to improve directivity over a bandwidth.
