Re: Directional coupler DC - 300 Mhz
It looks like a classic Sontheimer coupler (patented in 1966?)
The coupling factor is 20*log(N) where N is the turns ratio. So if there are 6 turns on the secondary and the primary just passes through the twin hole bead once then the coupling will be about 15.5dB.
These things often work over a decade or two of bandwidth although you usually only get good directivity over a decade or so. But a lot depends on the ferrite material used. Does your ferrite have any colour markings? eg a hint of purple for example?
