Abstract

This work presents ultra low-loss co-planar waveguides and Marchand type baluns implemented in an optimized high ohmic silicon substrate technology for RF/microwave applications. The CPW configured baluns operate from 15 to 25GHz with a minimum insertion loss of 0.8 dB at center frequency.
