%X The paper presents a design and simulation study of three active balun circuits implemented in a standard 90nm Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) process namely: (1) common-source/drain active balun; (2) common-gate with common-source active balun; and (3) differential active balun.£¿ The active balun designs are intended for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) applications operating at frequency 5.8GHz and with supply voltage of 1V.£¿ Measurements are taken for parameters such as gain difference, phase difference, and noise figure.£¿ All designs achieved gain difference of less than 0.23dB, phase difference of 180¡ã ¡À 7.1¡ã, and noise figure of 7.2¨C9.85dB, which are comparable to previous designs and researches.£¿ Low power consumption attained at the most 4.45mW
