Baluns
- A Voltage Balun is one whose output voltages are equal and opposite
(balanced with respect to ground)
- True balance occurs only if the balun’s load is symmetric with respect to ground
- Voltages baluns are easily constructed and commonly used in spite
of their inability to provide true current balance
- A Current Balun is one whose output currents are equal and opposite
(balanced with respect to ground)
- With the exception of the 1:1 current balun,
current baluns are more expensive to construct than
voltage baluns and thus are less widely used
