“…However, these baluns have the drawback of large size and also the relatively not small path loss from the chipset-modules to the PCB. Recently, the on-chip UWB balun with the good imbalance performance and compact size is highly developed [2][3][4][5][6]. Nevertheless, the insertion loss, amplitude-and phase-imbalances of these baluns are relatively larger than the PCB type, because of the strong skin effect in the operated frequency band (i.e., 11.5-46.5 GHz).…”

“…To meet the ever-increasing requirement of the microwave/ mm-wave point-to-point communication with ultra-wideband (UWB) operation (i.e., fractional bandwidth (FBW) >100%), the UWB baluns as one of the essential key components are dramatically required [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Many of the UWB baluns operated in such frequency bands with good performance are implemented on the PCB boards [1].…”

A compact on-chip stacked-spiral-coupled balun is proposed in this paper based on the center-tapped float-shield and port-coupled compensation line. The ultra-wideband (UWB) operation and miniaturized size are simultaneously employed using the stacked-spiral-coupled scheme. Meanwhile, the centertapped float-shield and port-coupled compensation line are introduced to achieve the low inband amplitude-and phase-balances with excellence responses, respectively. Then, the proposed balun operated over the bandwidth (i.e., 11.5-46.5 GHz) is implemented and fabricated using IBM 0.13 um SiGe process. The measured amplitude-and phase-imbalances of the on-chip balun are ±1 dB and ±1.31 • , respectively, which exhibit strong merits for the practical UWB point-to-point communication application.

“…At frequencies below 40 GHz the balun response drops down. This behaviour can be explained considering equations (10) and (11). The coupling to the balanced output depends on the electrical length of the line.…”

“…The cost of the chip fabrication increases proportionally with the area, thus the miniaturization of this component is extremely important. The different topologies of passive baluns can be classified in two different categories: Classical Marchand Balun [4,5], with its derivations, [6,7,8,9,10] and Conventional transformer [11]. On silicon bulk CMOS technology the effective permittivity constant ε ef f is about 4.2 as a consequence the wavelength (λ) at 60 GHz is 2.6 mm, so λ/4 = 650 µm.…”

In this paper a novel method to design a miniaturized Marchand Balun is proposed. The main issue in the balun design is to limit its physical dimension. This work shows a device that achieves good performance, in terms of phase and amplitude balance, and reduced size at the same time. To allow such a result, an accurate analysis of the electromagnetics phenomena was done. The principal equations that characterize the structure are resumed in the paper. The device has been fabricated in 65 nm CMOS technology. The balun has been designed for application in a wide band low power 60 GHz transceiver.

A 24 GHz high linear, high-gain up-conversion mixer is realized for fifth-generation (5G) applications in the 65 nm CMOS process. The mixer’s linearity is increased by applying an Improved Derivative Super-Position (I-DS) technique cascaded between the mixer’s transconductance and switching stage. The high gain and stability of amplifiers in the transconductance stage of the mixer are achieved using novel tunable capacitive cross-coupled common source (TCC-CS) transistors. Using the I-DS, the third-order non-linear coefficient of current is closed to zero, enhancing the linearity. Additionally, a TCC-CS, which is realized by varactors, neutralizes the gate-to-drain parasitic capacitance (Cgd) of transistors in the transconductance stage of the mixer and contributes to the improvement of the gain and stability of the mixer. The measured 1 dB compression point OP1dB of the designed mixer is 4.1 dBm and IP1dB is 0.67 dBm at 24 GHz. The conversion gain of 4.1 dB at 24 GHz and 3.2 ± 0.9 dB, from 20 to 30 GHz is achieved in the designed mixer. Furthermore, a noise figure of 3.8 dB is noted at 24 GHz. The power consumption of the mixer is 4.9 mW at 1.2 V, while the chip area of the designed mixer is 0.4 mm2.
