Abstract
A laminated balun transformer includes a dielectric sheet for which a lead electrode is provided at its surface, dielectric sheets for which λ/4 striplines are provided at their surfaces respectively, and dielectric sheets for which ground electrodes are provided at their surfaces respectively. One pair of opposing striplines is provided with a dielectric sheet disposed therebetween so as to be electromagnetically coupled. The other pair of opposing striplines is provided with a dielectric sheet disposed therebetween so as to be electromagnetically coupled. An end of a stripline of one pair of striplines is electrically connected to an end of a stripline of the other pair of striplines through an external electrode.
Claims5
A method of making a laminated transformer comprising the steps of:
- forming a plurality of dielectric sheets;
- forming a first stripline on a first dielectric sheet;
- forming a second stripline on a second dielectric sheet such that said second stripline is electromagnetically coupled with said first stripline;
- forming a third stripline on a third dielectric sheet;
- forming a fourth stripline on a fourth dielectric sheet such that said fourth stripline is electromagnetically coupled with said third stripline;
- electrically connecting said first stripline and said fourth stripline;
- and
- stacking said first, said second, said third, and said fourth dielectric sheets to form a laminated structure.
