Broadband monolithic passive baluns and monolithic double-balanced mixer

@article{citeulike:2762240, abstract = {The design and fabrication of four broadband monolithic passive baluns including CPW Marchand, multilayer MS Marchand, planar-transformer and broadside-coupled line baluns are presented.

Simulated performances using full wave electromagnetic analysis are shown to agree with the measured results. Two accurate equivalent circuit models constructed from either electromagnetic simulated or measured S-parameters are developed for the MS Marchand and transformer baluns making the optimization of baluns and circuit design using the baluns much more efficient.
