[en] This paper discusses the coupler developments that have taken place at CERN since the last RF superconductivity workshop. At that time beam tube coupling was just starting to be examined. It was found that in restricting the number of cells to four with the correct amount of intercell coupling, and endcells compensated simultaneously for several modes, trapped modes can be avoided at least up to three and a half times the fundamental mode frequency. This result is regarded as a sufficiently safe basis to switch over to beam tube coupling with two higher order mode (hom) couplers, one on each side and with 65 degrees in between them, and in addition one beam tube power coupler. The characteristics of the cavity and the machine determine the basic coupler specifications. Four designs are discussed for hom couplers. 22 reference, 15 figures, 2 tables
