Abstract
Abstract A multilayered balun transformer in which not only loss can be suppressed but also phase difference or level difference between balanced signal terminals can be suppressed and which become easy to design. In the multilayered balun signal transformer, a coil 4 and a capacitor C1 are formed in a dielectric by a multilayered structure to thereby form a high-pass filter 6. A low-pass filter 9 is formed from another combination of a coil 7 and a capacitor C2. The high-pass filter 6 and the low-pass filter 9 are arranged lengthwise in the direction of multilayer so that the capacitors C1 and C2 are present on extensions of magnetic flux generated in the inside of the coils 4 and 7 respectively.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
252 words
A multilayered balun signal transformer comprising: a dielectric block having a multilayered structure; a high-pass filter including a first coil and a first capacitor, said first capacitor and first coil being arranged lengthwise in a direction of multilayer of the dielectric block so that said capacitor is located on an extension of magnetic flux generated inside of said first coil; and a low-pass filter and including a second coil and a second capacitor, said second capacitor and second coil being arranged lengthwise in the direction of multilayer of the dielectric block so that said capacitor is located on an extension of magnetic flux generated inside of said first coil; a first balanced signal terminal formed on a side surface of the multilayered structure, to which one end of said first coil and one end of said first capacitor are connected; a first ground terminal formed on a side surface of said multilayered structure, to which the other end of said first coil is connected; an unbalanced signal terminal formed on a side surface of said multilayered structure, to which the other end of said first capacitor and one end of said second coil are connected; a second balanced signal terminal formed on a side surface of said multilayered structure, to which the other end of said second coil and one end of said second capacitor are connected; and a second ground terminal formed on a side surface of said multilayered structure, to which the other end of said second capacitor is connected.
