ideal balun

Does anyone know how to use ideal balun in cadence? I need to drive differential LNA. Can I give input to Diff LNA without balun? thanks in advance.

balun cadence

Yes , there is a ideal_balun in analogLib and balun(verilog) in rfLib...

A balun is a symmetrical circuit and performs only differential-to-single ended conversion. Input and output impedances may be different than 50 Ohm.
