Characterize Balanced Devices With A VNA
Differential (balanced) topologies are very often used in RF and microwave circuits, and particularly in integrated circuits (ICs), such as MMICs and single-chip receivers. Such circuits are usually impedance matched at the input at a single carrier or local-oscillator (LO) frequency. Unfortunately, manufacturers' data sheets do not always provide the required differential input impedance of the device at the frequency of interest. In such a case, it is necessary to characterize the...
