Baluns are commonly used in electronics to match electrical parameters, such as impedance, gain, and power level, between circuits. A balun\'s purpose is to transform signals from one form to another, such as from balanced to unbalanced, or vice versa. The BD2425NNRF is an active RF balun produced by NXP Semiconductors. This application note will discuss the application field and working principles of the device.

Application Field

The BD2425NNRF is designed for UHF applications and may be used in receivers, transmitters, or transceivers. It is a low-power, cost-effective device with low loss, low noise, and high dynamic range. It is suitable for applications such as WIFI, Bluetooth, AM/FM, GPS, ZigBee, cellular, and short-range wireless communication services. The device is also applicable as a balun for digital radio systems, such as 802.11x (WIFI) and WiFi-like systems, as well as for several other broadcasting technologies.

Working Principles

The BD2425NNRF Balun device is based on a highly integrated Transformation Ratio Polyphase Network Design (TR-PND). The TR-PND is an innovative circuit concept that uses non-Eulerian transformation principles to balance or unbalance the signal while improving the gain and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). It is composed of an input transformer, two pairs of inductors and capacitors, and two active amplifiers. The transformer\'s primary winding is the input, while the secondary winding is the output. The active amplifiers are combined with the inductors and capacitors to form a polyphase network. The polyphase network is then scaled to the desired transformation ratio, typically 1:1 or 1:2. The signal transformation takes place at the input of the transformer, where the input signal is converted from single-ended to balanced, or from balanced to single-ended. The BD2425NNRF Balun is designed to improve the performance of the overall system by reducing distortion and amplifying weak signals or increasing the gain of stronger signals.

The BD2425NNRF Balun operates in the following modes: A, B, C, and D. Mode A is the primary mode used for single-ended-to-balanced or balanced-to-single-ended transformation. Mode B is an alternate mode used for single-ended-to-unbalanced or unbalanced-to-single-ended transformation. Mode C is the secondary mode used for dual-ended-to-single-ended transformation. Mode D is the tertiary mode used for dual-ended-to-unbalanced or unbalanced-to-dual-ended transformation.

Conclusion

The BD2425NNRF Balun is a cost-effective, low-power balun suitable for a variety of UHF applications. The device is based on a highly integrated TR-PND circuit and can improve the overall performance of the system with its reduction of distortion and enhanced signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). This device is capable of operating in four different modes, allowing for an array of possible applications. With its low-power, low-cost, and high dynamic range, the BD2425NNRF is a ideal solution for many UHF applications incorporating a balun.
