Abstract
A broadside-coupled transformer is disclosed. The broadside-coupled transformer has a dielectric substrate with a first planar conductor disposed on the dielectric substrate. The first planar conductor includes first and second ends. A second planar conductor is positioned over and spaced apart from the first planar conductor. The second planar conductor includes third and fourth ends. The fourth end is electrically coupled to the first end of the first planar conductor to realize a Ruthroff transformer configuration. Support posts for supporting the second planar conductor over the first planar conductor each have a bottom attached to the dielectric substrate without contacting the first planar conductor and a top attached to a surface of the second planar conductor.
