Abstract
An unbalance-to-balance converter includes an FET and a balanced output adjusting capacitor connected between the source terminal of the FET and an earth conductor. The balanced output adjusting capacitor has a capacitance value equal to a capacitance difference Cpd-Cps between a drain side parasitic capacitance Cpd and a source side parasitic capacitance Cps. This makes it possible to solve a problem involved in a conventional unbalance-to-balance converter in that when the drain side parasitic capacitance Cpd differs from the source side parasitic capacitance Cps, a pair of balanced signals output from the drain terminal and source terminal do not have the same amplitude and are not in complete opposition.
