Why 100um and 200um for the Marchand balun ?

Do you guys think if I would be able to simulate a self-drawn marchand balun using software like openems , QucStudio or Z0lver ?
I do not have the money to run ADS on linux.

Note: Schematics of marchand balun is extracted from figure 3 of A 60‐GHz double‐balanced mixer with negative resistance compensation for direct up‐conversion using 90‐nm CMOS technology

Understanding **broken link removed** and Analysis and design of lumped element Marchand baluns is not trivial

 

If you're a student ,Keysight or AWR may borrow a student license for a limited time.
Or, you request a light version from sonnetsoftware..
 

KeySight ADS only allows student license for universities located in Canada, US, Japan and Brazil. I am not located in those countries.

NI AWR has good student license system which is not geographically-limited, but this software only runs on Windows which I do not have.

Sonnet Lite (msi file) does not even like WINE software on my linux system and crashed immediately even before GUI is launched

Not true. I have an ADS license and I am in Europe.
 

For **broken link removed** , how to derive expression (5) ?

I have downloaded book for [10] online but those book pages reference do NOT really help in proving expression (5)
