Dual-band balun with fully matched performance

In this paper, a dual-band balun matched at all of the three ports is discussed. Explicit design equations are given. The design concept is verified by measurement results. It is worth pointing out the proposed dual-band balun is also suitable for 20 / 44 GHz application.
