Abstract
A bi-directional coupler assembly includes a first port for connecting to one of an input forward path RF signal line and an output forward path RF signal line. A second port connects to the other of the input forward path RF signal line and the output forward path RF signal line. A relay is connected between the ports and to at least one directional coupler. In a first state of the relay, an input forward path RF signal delivered from the input forward path RF signal line and through the first port is directed through the at least one directional coupler in a first direction. In a second state of the relay, an input forward path RF signal delivered from the input forward path RF signal line and through the second port is directed through the at least one directional coupler in said first direction.
