Analyzed by the even- and odd-mode method, the equivalent equations are derived for ）./4 coupled lines. Based on the proposed 5th-order lumped equivalent circuit for ）./4 coupled lines, the self-inductance, mutual inductive coupling and the capacitance can be calculated according to the even- and odd-mode characteristic impedance, therefore, the model parameters of the balun can be easily gained from the derived equations. To verify the model, a GaAs monolithic wideband Marchand balun was implemented and tested. The EM simulation and experimental results show a good agreement with the model simulation. This model is available in a wide frequency range and makes the design procedure of the Marchand balun faster and easier.展开更多

In order to save chip area, a four-fold modified Marchand balun is used. A coupled line U section improves the port to port isolation and provides the IF-output port. The mixer achieves a low conversion loss of 5.5 to 10.7 dB and high isolation of more than 26 dB over a 26-40 GHz RF/LO bandwidth and a DC-14 GHz IF bandwidth. The mixer＇s chip size is around 0.96 mm2.展开更多
