Abstract

We report a new planar low loss microstrip balun with radial stub RF grounding. This structure achieves a good RF ground for a Marchand-type balun and facilitates microstrip balun characterization. Moreover, a simplified biasing scheme for a push-pull amplifier was designed using this concept and this approach has been used successfully in a push-pull amplifier. The measured balun insertion loss was less than 0.5 dB over a 5-11 GHz band.
