Abstract :
A new wideband microstrip dual balun structure is presented. The proposed wideband dual balun is based on the second higher order mode microstrip line and the 180° out-of-phase and equal magnitude of the balun outputs can be achieved inherently. The experimental results show that the balun has simple structure, wideband impedance matching and good amplitude/phase balance performance.
