Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by introducing a resistor and capacitor in parallel in the second line, which changes the electrical parameters of the coupled line. This allows forming an attenuation pole in the frequency-isolation relationship, thereby adjusting isolation characteristics while maintaining magnetic coupling. The parallel RC circuit modifies the impedance and frequency response parameters to achieve both magnetic coupling and improved isolation.
