Marchand Balun implementation
Do you guys think if I would be able to simulate a self-drawn marchand balun using software like openems , QucStudio or Z0lver ?
I do not have the money to run ADS on linux.
Note: Schematics of marchand balun is extracted from figure 3 of A 60‐GHz double‐balanced mixer with negative resistance compensation for direct up‐conversion using 90‐nm CMOS technology
Understanding A New Planar Marchand Balun and Analysis and design of lumped element Marchand baluns is not trivial
If you're a student ,Keysight or AWR may borrow a student license for a limited time.
Or, you request a light version from sonnetsoftware..
KeySight ADS only allows student license for universities located in Canada, US, Japan and Brazil. I am not located in those countries.
NI AWR has good student license system which is not geographically-limited, but this software only runs on Windows which I do not have.
Sonnet Lite (msi file) does not even like WINE software on my linux system and crashed immediately even before GUI is launched
Not true. I have an ADS license and I am in Europe.
See https://connectlp.keysight.com/UsCa-...StudentLicense
I just got SonnetLite installed using instruction from http://www.eevblog.com/forum/rf-micr...sx-under-wine/
Here are my reading list (probably useful for other readers) before I do the actual Marchand Balun implementation in SonnetLite :

For http://www-ee.uta.edu/online/adavis/...lun.pdf#page=2 , how to derive expression (5) ?
I have downloaded book for [10] online but those book pages reference do NOT really help in proving expression (5)
