Abstract
Various types of ultra-wideband components with 10's of GHz bandwidth have been developed utilizing a uniplanar ultra-wideband balun, which is a simple microstrip-to-coplanar stripline (CPS) transition structure with the operating frequency range from near DC to over 40 GHz. Developed ultra-wideband components include antennas, mixers, doublers, and detectors in a carrier type and in a surface mountable type. One of surface mountable components, for example, single balanced doubler has output frequency 8 ~ 28 GHz. These high-Performance, low-cost ultra-wideband components may replace expensive conventional components, and also can be used to develop new multi-GHz OWE application areas.
