Abstract
A surface mountable coupler may include a monolithic base substrate having a first surface, a second surface, a length in an X-direction, and a width in a Y-direction that is perpendicular to the X-direction. A plurality of ports may be formed over the first surface of the monolithic base substrate including a coupling port, an input port, and an output port. The coupler may include a first thin film inductor and a second thin film inductor that is inductively coupled with the first thin film inductor and electrically connected between the input and output ports. A thin film circuit may electrically connect the first thin film inductor with the coupling port. The thin film circuit may include at least one thin film component.
