Abstract
A novel monolithic transformer structure, mixed coupling structure, is proposed and compared with other more conventional structures: side-coupling and vertical-coupling structure. The proposed mixed-coupling structure shows the best performance in the aspects of symmetry, area efficiency, and insertion loss. The structures of the three transformers along with the measurement results are presented and analyzed
