ABSTRACT:
A transmission line balun transformer for providing a single ended output signal from a pair of differential input signals includes two transmission line signal couplers. The couplers are individually designed to be relatively loosely coupled devices, i.e. having a coupling factor greater than 3 dB, but are coupled together with proper phase relationships so as to achieve a relatively tighter composite coupling characteristic in the order of 3 dB, thereby resulting in an increase in bandwidth.
