BAL-0010
BROADBAND BALUN
The BAL-0010 is a broadband balun, hand-tuned for optimal phase and amplitude balance over a 200 kHz to 10 GHz bandwidth. It serves as an excellent choice for analog to digital converters, balanced receivers, baseband digital modulations, and signal integrity enhancement.

Three port scattering parameters measured as three single-ended 50Ω ports showing relationship between any two ports. For example: S21 and S31, often referred to as insertion loss of a balun, is the output response on ports 2 and 3 with an input stimulus on port 1.
Mixed mode scattering parameters are used to characterize differential circuits. For baluns, this means that the 0° and 180° ports become a single 100Ω differential port and the common port remains the same 50Ω common port. The two-port s-parameters of the balun are then characterized based on differential (d), common mode (c), or single-ended (s) signals. For example: S12ds is the differential output response given a single ended input.
Specifications guaranteed from -55 to +100°C, measured in a 50Ω system.
