Provided is a wideband active balun circuit based on a differential
amplifier. The active balun circuit is configured to compensate for
unbalance between two differential signals and can be applied to wideband
systems, such as software defined radio (SDR) systems or ultra wideband
(UWB) systems. Also, when signal unbalance is caused by changes in
process conditions, such as temperature, errors in amplitude and phase
between the two differential signals can be finely tuned by adjusting a
voltage tuning terminal outside a chip, so that the active balun circuit
can simply solve the unbalance between the two differential signals.
Furthermore, input transistors that constitute a pair of differential
amplifiers are provided in a cascode structure to prevent the occurrence
of signal leakage and self-mixture.
