Abstract :
Theoretical analysis and experimental realization of two types of microwave baluns is presented. Both baluns are made from coupled strip lines with one input and two output ports. The power outputs from the output ports are equal and anti-phased over a certain bandwidth. Conditions for perfect balance, at least at the center frequency, are stated and parametric sensitivity analysis is given analytically
