  • Abstract
    In this paper the traditional tapered microstrip balun transformer is modified by bending its whole structure to significantly reduce its length. The resulting bent tapered microstrip balun is then extended with a twin-semirigid line to simplify antenna feeding. The decoupling coefficient of the proposed balun has been found to be smaller than -30 dB.
