The transformer is doubly tuned using the transistor parasitic capacitances and an integrated capacitor to overcome the limited coupling factor (k=0.76). The measured insertion loss of the switchable balun is 1.6-1.7 dB at 5-6 GHz for both ports with excellent input and output match, and the input 1-dB power compression point is 12 dBm.
