A compact single-stage wide-band balun

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This article presents the design procedure and measurement results for a 4:1 wide-band transmission-line balun based on a combination of two different ferrite cores. The balun ranked first at the Student Design Competition for 'Wide-Band Baluns' that took place during the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S) 2017 International Microwave Symposium (IMS2017), held in Honolulu, Hawaii in May 2017. Each competition team was required to bring a balun designed by the students. The team that achieved the widest measured bandwidth, from 300 kHz to 1 GHz under the competition rules, was named the winner.
