Abstract
A wideband balun developed for MMIC (monolithic microwave integrated circuit) applications is discussed. The approach utilizes simple RF reflection and coupling principles to achieve a wideband performance in a simple microstrip configuration. A balun with better than 2 dB of insertion loss, 1 dB and 5 degrees of amplitude and phase balance over 7 to 19 GHz has been realized.<>
