I managed to make the balun more matched in terms of phase difference for S12 and S13

Note: I have attached a zip containing the dxf file as well as the Ansys Neural File.

I have imported and simulated the same layout in Sonnet

How do I unwrap the phase difference (S12-S13) such that it does not jump from +180 degree to -180 degree ?
