Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a coupler and a base station antenna. The coupler comprises: a first coupling member comprising a first substrate, and a first signal path and a first sub-path of a second signal path located on the first substrate, the first sub-path configured to be at least partially coupled with the first signal path to couple a portion of a signal in the first signal path into the second signal path; a second coupling member vertically stacked with the first coupling member, the second coupling member comprising a second substrate, and a second sub-path of the second signal path located on the second substrate; a shielding member disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate so as to shield the first coupling member and the second coupling member from one another, the shielding member being provided with a first connection through-hole; and a first connection member passing through the first connection through-hole and electrically connected between the first sub-path and the second sub-path.
