โฆ Synopsis
A simple microstrip balun with low insertion loss and high-power operation from 700 to 2500 MHz was designed and fabricated with a three-section Wilkinson divider and with two 3-dB quadrature couplers made by adapting twisted-pair coaxial cables. The fabricated balun has an amplitude imbalance of ฯฎ0.5 dB, a phase imbalance of ฯฎ3.4ยฐ, and an insertion loss of ฯฎ1.3 dB from 700 to 2500 MHz. In addition, the proposed balun, when combined with high-power resistors in the Wilkinson divider, can be used in high-power circuits that approach 100 W. Moreover, the RF balun can be designed for an even greater bandwidth by using a 3-dB quadrature coupler with a wider band.
