Marchand Balun Design and Verification Using HyperLynx 3D EM
White Paper
ABSTRACT
This white paper details the design benefits of baluns in RF/MMIC circuit design using the development of the Marchand Balun as the learning vehicle. The Marchand Balun was picked as a demonstration vehicle because of its wide bandwidth compared to other circuit-element structures and its straightforward planar implementation. The Mentor Graphics HyperLynx 3D EM (formerly known as IE3D™ EM) design and verification solution is used to analyze and model the electrical behavior of this structure.
