This balun takes full advantage of the frequency-independent out-of-phase property of the odd TE0.5,0mode of the coupled-HMSIW system. As a result, a phase difference of 180° and balanced amplitudes between two balun outputs are obtained inherently over a wide frequency range. Thanks to the similarity of partial transverse fields, this odd mode can be excited by a conventional slotline in a straightforward manner. This design concept is verified by both simulation and measurement. Measurement shows that this balun has a fractional bandwidth of 97%, from 17 to 49 GHz, with a return loss of 10 dB at its unbalanced port; the in-band amplitude and phase imbalances between two balanced ports are within ±0.6 dB and ±5° (±10° at around 48 GHz), respectively.

Due to that the ground folds to the surface of substrate by loading metallic vias, pure horizontally polarized E-field is produced around the slot and a wide ARBW is obtained. Two degenerate modes in a single-fed patch antenna is slightly separated by the metallic vias, so a CP radiation is achieved. The proposed CP antenna exhibits a low-profile of 0.015 ‘λ.
