Abstract
A wide-band balun is developed using a composite right/left-handed (CRLH) transmission line (TL) at 2 GHz. It is composed of a Wilkinson power divider and two phase-adjusting transmission lines, namely the CRLH TL and the conventional TL. The input reflection coefficient is better than −10 dB from 1 to 4 GHz. Over the frequency range of 1.24–3.58 GHz, an amplitude imbalance of less than 0.7 dB and a phase error of less than±10° have been experimentally demonstrated.
