Abstract

A filter circuit includes a branch line coupler and a balun circuit having an input terminal connected to the branch line coupler to receive a signal, a first line connected to the input terminal and having a length comparable to a quarter of an electrical length of one wavelength at a frequency of the signal, a second line connected to the input terminal and having a length comparable to the quarter, a third line connected to the second line and having a length comparable to the quarter, and a fourth line connected to the third line and electromagnetically coupled to the first line, the fourth line having a length comparable to the quarter, wherein an end of the first line and an end of the fourth line are both connected to a ground or open-circuited, or are connected to two respective terminating resistors whose resistance values are equal.
