Abstract

A band-switching network includes a dual-band balun and a switch network. The dual-band balun includes a first output and a second output. The switch network includes a first switch and a second switch in which an input to the first switch is coupled to the first output and an input to the second switch is coupled to the second balanced output. The dual-band balun further includes a primary coil, a first secondary coil and a second secondary coil in which the first secondary coil is coupled to the first balanced output and the second secondary coil is coupled to the second balanced output. In one embodiment, the primary coil and the first secondary coil are coupled by a first coupling factor k 1 , and the primary coil and the second secondary coil are coupled by a second coupling factor k 2 that is different from the first coupling factor k 1 .
