Abstract
A balun device comprises an input microstrip, a first output microstrip, a second output microstrip, and a junction comprising a conductive termination of the input microstrip, the first output microstrip, and the second output microstrip, whereby an input signal provided to the input microstrip will propagate through the first output microstrip as a first output signal and through the second output microstrip as a second output signal, wherein the phase of the first output signal is identical to the phase of the input signal, and wherein the junction inverts the phase of the second output signal relative to the phase of the input signal and the first output signal.
