Folded Marchand Balun Design and Validation Using Sonnet
نویسنده
چکیده
The Marchand balun has larger bandwidth than other types of combiners and has been used extensively since its introduction. The Marchand balun has also been extensively used in planar systems in both broadside-coupled and edged-coupled configurations. This paper describes the design and development of two microstrip, folded, edge-coupled Marchand baluns for use as anti-phase power combiner. The balun form-factor is thus reduced, making the circuit more compact and amenable for use in high-density printed circuit boards.

A 38 to 44GHz sub-harmonic balanced HBT mixer with integrated miniature spiral type marchand balun
This work presents an active balanced sub-harmonic mixer (SHM) using InP double heterojunction bipolar transistor technology (DHBT) for Q-band applications. A miniature spiral type Marchand balun with five added capacitances for improved control of amplitude and phase balance is integrated with the SHM. The measured results for the SHM demonstrates a conversion gain of 1.2 dB at an RF frequency...
متن کاملCompact Wideband Differential Bandpass Filter Using a Marchand Balun
A novel compact wideband differential bandpass filter with wideband common mode suppression using a Marchand balun is presented in this paper. Open/shorted coupled lines and stubs are used to improve the selectivity for the differential mode and common mode suppression. The demonstrated filter with a compact size of 50mm × 30mm exhibits a fractional bandwidth of 53% centered at 3.0GHz and 13 dB...
متن کاملDual-band and Wideband Design of a Printed Dipole Antenna Integrated with Dual-band Balun
A dual-band printed dipole antenna with integrated balun feed is given in this paper. First, the fork-shaped slot is etched on the arms of the printed dipole antenna to achieve the dual-band operation with resonances at WLAN bands. The radiating element without balun is optimized and operates at 2.4 GHz (2180–2750MHz) and 5.2GHz (5040 MHz–5480MHz) where return loss is less than −10 dB. In order...
متن کاملDual wideband printed dipole antenna with integrated balun
A printed dipole antenna with integrated balun is presented. The radiating structure is a two-element dipole with resonances at 900 and 1700 MHz, with the balun providing one extra resonance at each band. By co-designing the radiating element with a Marchand balun modified for dual-band operation, an antenna covering the cellular bands 824–960 and 1710–2170 MHz has been achieved. Measurements o...
