Concept:

In optical communication, a star coupler is used to distribute optical signals among multiple ports. For an \( N \times N \) **bi-directional star coupler**, the number of **3-dB couplers** needed is given by the formula:

\( \frac{N}{2} \times \log_2 N \)

Given:

N = 64

Calculation:

\( \log_2 64 = 6 \)

\( \text{Number of 3-dB couplers} = \frac{64}{2} \times 6 = 32 \times 6 = 192 \)

Correct Answer: 3) 192
