Directivity is also defined for directional couplers and similiar devices for RF and Microwave measurements. It is the properof the device couple power in one direction while rejecting in other direction. Higher the rejection, higher the directivity. For example in a directional coupler if the directivity of a measuring port is 40 dB, it means the power coupled in this port from desired direction will be 40 dB higher than the undesired power coupled from other direction.
