A novel lumped impedance matched type of Marchand balun in MMIC/MCM technology is described which is compact enough even for the low-GHz frequency range. Broadband performance and balance of this component are sufficient for the use in many wireless applications.
SummaryMonolithic and hybrid broadband compensated baluns of the Marchand type [l], [a] feature excellent electrical performance, but are quite space consuming Single -Ended Input and Differential -Output ca. U4 ca. U4
