Abstract :
We report the development of a novel broadband 3D vertical balun exhibiting superior performance due to ground plane removal and unique 3D features. The balun offers /spl plusmn/5 degrees phase and /spl plusmn/0.5 dB amplitude imbalance, from 2.0-2.7 GHz. In addition, we present the performance of a 3D X-band 4-way Wilkinson divider.
