EBAL-0026

10 MHz to 26 GHz Broadband Balun

The EBAL-0026 is an ultra-broadband 2:1 balun (unbalanced to balanced transformer), hand-tuned for optimal amplitude and phase balance. The EBAL-0026 transforms between a 50Ω common input and a 100Ω differential output. It operates over a 10 MHz to 26 GHz bandwidth, with typical 0.5 dB amplitude and 5° phase balance, low 3 dB insertion loss as a mode converter. The EBAL-0026 can be used for performing measurements on high frequency differential devices, including cables, microchips, and communication systems. It is an excellent choice for test & measurement benches, high speed analog-to-digital converters, balanced receivers, baseband digital modulations, and signal integrity. For accurate simulations, use the provided S3P file taken from measured production units. The EBAL-0026 is in a 1.5 x 1.5 inch connectorized package and features 2.92 mm Female connectors on the common input and differential output ports.
