This paper presents a compact on-chip balun with a turn ratio of 1:2, and its application for sub-6 GHz wideband front-end. The common ground between the primary and secondary windings is designed by utilizing a short transmission line (T-line) to eliminate the imbalance. To further mitigate the imb...
