Abstract
A balun includes a dielectric layer having first and second sides, an electrically conductive plate on the second side of the dielectric layer, a first electrically conductive line on the first side and comprising a first end electrically connected to a first terminal and a second end, a second electrically conductive line on the second side and comprising a third end electrically coupled to a second terminal and a fourth end connected to an unbalanced terminal and a micro strip line comprising a fifth end electrically connected to the third end and a sixth end. The first electrically conductive line overlaps the second electrically conductive line. The second and the sixth ends are electrically coupled to the electrically conductive plate. The electrically conductive plate is hollowed in at least a region corresponding to an overlap area of the first electrically conductive line and second electrically conductive line.
