Novel balanced-to-unbalanced (balun) bandpass filters are presented and carefully examined. By properly converting a symmetric four-port balanced-to-balanced bandpass filter to a three-port device, with two ports forming a balanced output and one port remaining unbalanced, a novel three-port balun bandpass filter with both functions of balun and bandpass filter may be realized. Specifically, a balun bandpass filter is implemented with its center frequency at 0.99 GHz and a 3-dB fractional bandwidth (Bomega) of 10.1%. The implemented balun bandpass filter presents an excellent in-band balance performance with common-mode rejection ratio (Rcm) better than 41 dB (the corresponding amplitude and phase imbalances are within 0.003deg and 1deg) over the pass- band. In this study, a wideband balun bandpass filter is also implemented so as to improve the wideband performance of the quasi- Yagi antenna. Being integrated with the proposed wideband balun bandpass filter, the implemented quasi-Yagi antenna achieves a bandwidth of 48% for IS11 | < -10 dB, with front-to-back ratio better than 13 dB, cross-polarization smaller than -20 dB, and peak gain of 3-5 dBi within the wide operating bandwidth.
