Abstract

An in-line coupler including a base plate for connecting a first connector and a second connector. The base plate has a first plate surface and a second plate surface. A number of nodes are provided at a first end of the base plate for connecting the first connector on the first plate surface and at a second end of the base plate for connecting the second connector on the second plate surface. A plurality of transmission lines are provided on the base plate for connecting the nodes at the first end to the nodes at the second end. The transmission lines have a compact configuration to reduce their mutual interference, thus reducing the attenuation of signals therein.
