They consist of two main circuit parts: 1) a three-portreflective-type high-order balun BPF network and 2) a resistivelyterminated microstrip T-junction that is shunt connected at theunbalanced port. The reflective-type balun BPFs developed with5th- and 6th-order Chebyshev equal-ripple responses are firstlydescribed. By replacing the last two virtually-short-circuit-endedquarter-wavelength transmission-line (TL) stubs with opencircuit-ended half-wavelength TL stubs, their balun counterpartswith two close-to-passband transmission zeros (TZs) are thenpresented. As design example, a 5th-order input-reflectionlessquasi-elliptic-type wideband balun BPF is theoretically discussed.Furthermore, for experimental-validation purposes, a proof-ofconcept two-layer microstrip prototype of 5th-order balun BPF issimulated and tested. Its measured metrics are 2.05-GHz centerfrequency, 3-dB fractional bandwidth of 63.61% for the twooutput ports, input-power-matching levels higher than 10 dB, andstopband-power-rejection levels above 26.1 dB from DC to 5 GHz.
