Summary:
A principle and design procedure of differential phase shifters and baluns with a specified bandwidth is given. Phase shifters and baluns proposed here comprise of two transmission lines(TL), one is conventional while the other is CRLH - TL. The operating frequency is properly chosen as to obtain a maximum bandwidth. The bandwidth is related to number of unit cells comprising CRLH-TL.A Wilkinson balun with a 180?±10? bandwidth of 2.12GHz, centred at 1.5GHz is designed as an example.
