Abstract
A MMIC balun has been realised using spiral transformers in a Marchand configuration. This arrangement results in a simple, compact design with good performance. Using standard foundry processing, amplitude balance of 0.2 dB and phase balance of 10/spl deg/ was achieved from 2 to 6 GHz.Keywords
