Abstract

A directional coupler for sampling energy traversing a CATV system of the type wherein wide band television signals are extracted from a coaxial transmission line situated at points located at varying distances from the line amplifier. The coupler includes a voltage sensing transformer in shunt with the center and outer conductors of the cable and a current sensing transformer in series with the center conductor. The transformers are wound to provide the coupler with a relatively low tap value. Windings in the shunt transformer are used to internally boost the impedance at the input to the series transformer to maximize return losses and directivity.
