I sent this to Manfred direct as an attachment but, that doesn't go with the
reflector.
I found the source "on line" so, here is a link for any who are interested.

Hi Marv,
> Directional coupler.
I don't see how that could work.
Indeed, if there was such a thing as a near-perfect
directional coupler, in
which the signal apearing on the side port depends _only_ on
the signal at the
input port, and also the coupler completely prevents the
ouput load changes from
affecting the input signal, then it would work fine. But I
have never seen such
a coupler! In all real-world directional couplers I know,
the signal appearing
on the side port varies when the load on the output port
changes. So, in my
application, the distortion caused by the amplifier on the
drive signal would
also appear at the coupler's side port.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding what exact type of coupler
you mean, or how you
would apply it. Can you give some example?
