Abstract
The paper describes the design of a broadband balun with a multilayer coupled strip-line structure for a frequency range from 1.35 GHz to 2.7 GHz. This balun presents progress by providing PCB compatibility, integrated shielding (strip-line), and a relatively compact footprint in comparison with other balun topologies (e.g. microstrip and Lange couplers). The balun is first simulated schematically and electromagnetically using Advanced Design System. The results show good agreement between both sets of simulation data and the measurements results.
