A new balanced-to-single-ended (BTSE) power divider

TLDR
A balanced-to-single-ended (BTSE) power divider that provides all the desired performances within the operating bandwidth of 25%, with low insertion loss and good balance also achieved.
Abstract
A balanced-to-single-ended (BTSE) power divider is proposed in this paper. Its input is a differential pair while both the outputs are single-ended ports. It can replace the cascade of a balun and a conventional power divider. The characteristics requirements of a two-way BTSE power divider with equal power division are first derived, and then a prototype is designed for 2.0 GHz. In order to construct the component compactly, a short-ended four-wire coupled line and T-shaped sections are utilized to realize a -90° transmission line and a phase inverter, respectively. The developed prototype occupies an area of 0.077 λ g 2 , where λ g is the guided wavelength of central frequency. It provides all the desired performances within the operating bandwidth of 25%, with low insertion loss and good balance also achieved.
