Abstract

We report a novel lumped-element balun structure for both monolithic and hybrid circuit applications. The proposed structure utilizes two filters to compensate the amplitude and phase errors at the two balance outputs of a traditional out-of-phase power splitter. This circuit requires no multilayer or suspended substrates techniques; therefore, wide applications on many circuits operated especially, in the low microwave band, are expected. Two monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) mixers were built to demonstrate the electrical feasibility.
