The role of the coupler:
The required signal energy is removed from the main line to the near-end antenna, and more signal energy is allocated to the far-end antenna.
You can understand it as a power splitter with unequal output power.
In the indoor scene, the length of each antenna feeder to the AP is not the same, and the coupler is needed at this time.

P1: Input port power
P2: Output port power
P3: Coupling port output power
Degree of coupling : C=10log(p1/p3)
Insertion loss:IL=10log(p1/p2)
The 5dB coupler has a coupling degree of 5dB and an insertion loss of 2dB. If the input signal power is 17dBm, the coupling port output power is 12dBm.
Output port power is 15dBm.
