  • Abstract
    A compact microstrip balun structure, capable of multioctave performance, has been devised for monolithic or hybrid circuit applications. The structure requires no suspended substrate techniques and can be designed to occupy only a small amount of circuit area, thus allowing it to be easily integrated with a variety of monolithic circuit designs such as mixers, multipliers, and class B push-pull amplifiers. If a matching network is incorporated with the balun structure, a 10:1 operational bandwidth can be achieved.<>
