초록

본 논문에서는 다양한 신호 정합 회로에 사용되는 발룬(balun)을 본드와이어 트랜스포머(bondwire transformer)를 이용하여 제작·측정하였다. 본드와이어 트랜스포머를 이용한 발룬은 적은 도체 및 기관 손실과 높은 공진 주파수 특성으로 광대역 특성과 저 삽입 손실을 구현할 수 있다. 제작·측정 결과, 가용 주파수 8.15∼16.18 GHz에서 삽입 손실의 차이는 0.7 dB 이내이고 위상 차이는 2.5° 이내로 나타났다. 따라서, 제안된 발룬은 혼합기, 증폭기, 안테나의 연결부 등에 사용되어 전체적인 성능향상에 기여할 것으로 기대된다. 또한 제작 공정이 용이하고 크기 면에서도 나선형 구조의 발룬과 비견되기 때문에 다른 능·수동 소자와 함께 온-칩(on-chip)화가 가능할 것으로 예상된다.

In this paper, an integrated balun using bondwire transformer is fabricated and measured. The bondwire transformer has 1ow conductor and substrate loss and kas high resonance frequency. So it is available to implement low loss broadband balun. From the measured results, 0.7 dB amplitude imbalance and about 2.5 $^{\circ}$ phase imbalance was achieved from 8.15 to 16.18 GHz. It is expected that the proposed balun can improve the performance of mixers, amplifiers and matching networks of antennas. It can also be integrated with other components due to its easier fabrication and smaller size than spiral transformer balun.
