Abstract
In this paper, a compact wideband planar balun is studied and investigated. The proposed balun comprises a broadband Wilkinson divider followed by non-coupled lines to attain wideband 180° phase shift. Due to the inherent broadband characteristics of the proposed structure, good performance is accomplished in terms of phase and amplitude balance. The balun is optimally designed and validated by experiments. Both measured and computed results have shown a return loss better than -10 dB, an insertion loss around of -3.15 dB with a maximum absolute phase and amplitude imbalance around 2.5° and 0.2 dB over frequency range from 700 to 3200 MHz. Practical and computed results of the present balun are in good agreement.
