60 GHz on-chip balun transformer

Posted on 17. July 2018 by muehlhaus

Two new appnotes discuss the design of a 60GHz on-achip balun with 2:1 turn ratio.

Part 1 investigates the 60 GHz balun shape: Interleaved or overlay?
Interleaved or overlay?

Part 2 of the 60 GHz balun application note investigates effect of dummy metall placement on insertion loss.
