RF Balun Overview
RF Baluns, and their less common cousins, ununs, are predominately used throughout the RF & Microwave industries for impedance transformation applications, mainly impedance matching. Baluns, specifically, match impedances between balanced and unbalanced circuits. A balanced circuit or signal path is simply a differential signal path where the forward and return path are provided as distinct...
Whitepaper: Where COTS Meets Hi-Rel for RF/Microwave Active Devices
The process of designing and producing high reliability (Hi-Rel) military/aerospace (Mil/Aero) and space-grade RF and microwave active devices has historically been a long and expensive endeavor focused on small or medium quantity manufacturing. Adding to this, the cost of ensuring the highest standards of reliability for these applications requires stringent qualification and verification,...
