Abstract

In this paper a wideband active balun using advanced phase correction architecture is proposed. The proposed active balun is constructed with each different architecture of active balun combined with the cascode architecture to improve phase correction performance compared with conventional phase correction techniques. Operating over 0.6~2.0 GHz band, the proposed balun shows $10^{\circ}$ of phase error and 2 dB of gain error with 7 mW power consumption from 1.8 V supply voltage.

본 논문에서는 진화된 위상보정 구조를 이용한 0.6~2.0 GHz에서 동작하는 Active Balun을 제안한다. 제안하는 회로는 서로 다른 구조 및 성능을 보이는 Active Balun 회로를 Cascode 구조와 더불어 구현하여 기존의 위상 보정구조를 갖는 회로보다 위상보정에 있어 높은 성능을 보인다. 제안하는 Active Balun은 0.6~2.0 GHz 대역에서 $10^{\circ}$의 위상 오차 및 2dB의 진폭오차를 가지며, 1.8 V DC에서 약 7 mW의 전력을 소모한다.
