Abstract
A monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) compatible broadside-coupled transformer including (i) a first transmission line, (ii) a second transmission line, and (iii) a third transmission line. The first and the second transmission lines generally form the broadside-coupled transformer. The third transmission line is generally connected in series with the broadside-coupled transmission line forming a ground return path of the broadside-coupled transformer.
