A systematic design for asymmetric coupled-section Marchand baluns is presented. Asymmetrically coupled transmission lines in multilayer configuration are exploited for constructing Marchand baluns. Design equations for characteristic impedance and electrical length of asymmetrical coupled transmission lines are derived for establishing a systematic design procedure. Novel Marchand balun based on these design equations is composed of two identical asymmetrical coupled transmission lines. However, contrary to the general conventional design approach where ranges for characteristic impedances of coupled lines are ambiguously capitalized, values for characteristic impedance and length are explicitly expressed. Our approach is fundamentally different from the design method using coupling coefficients where solution for coupling coefficient is inherently restricted. To verify the proposed method, one design example is performed for wideband Marchand balun in multilayer configuration, and is fabricated for verifying the design procedure proposed. Maintaining the return loss more than 10 dB, the bandwidth is measured from 0.43 to 1.0 GHz, where $S_{21}$ and $S_{31}$ show better than -4 dB. The measured phase and amplitude imbalances illustrate 0.5 dB and ${\pm}5^{\circ}$, respectively.

본 논문은 InGaP/GaAs HBT 공정을 통해 제작한 적응성궤환 잡음제거시스템용 낮은 위상잡음을 갖는 LC 차동 전압제어 발진기를 제안합니다. 전압제어 발진기는 필터링 기술을 포함한 향상된 공진 탱크 구조를 갖습니다. 비대칭 인덕터 대칭 캐패시터 구조로 제안된 전압제어 발진기의 출력 가변 범위는 207 MHz입니다. 출력 전력은 balun과 케이블 손실을 포함하여 -6.68 dBm입니다. 10 kHz, 100 kHz, 1 MHz에서의 위상잡음은 각각 -102.02, -112.04 그리고 -130.4 dBc/Hz입니다. 이 전압제어 발진기는 총 $0.9{\times}0.9mm^2$ 면적 내에 집적화되었습니다.
