Balun Application Field and Working Principle

Baluns are an integral part of any RF system, and their application as a RF signal transformer is widespread in the industry. Baluns come in many shapes and sizes, each suited to specific application fields as well as varying frequencies. Among these baluns is the MABA-007237-ETC410, a particular kind of balun used in common antenna configurations.

Application Field

The MABA-007237-ETC410 is especially well suited to applications such as wideband VHF/UHF circularly polarized antennas with the topology of two-dipole configuration. This type of antenna has the capability to transmit both horizontally and vertically polarized signals in the same range of bandwidth. It is also well suited for applications where higher efficiency of matching between the antenna and the feeder is desired.

Working Principle

At its core, the MABA-007237-ETC410 is a balanced-to-unbalanced balun, with its two main magnetic windings (an electrical conductor wound into a loop to increase the magnetic field around it). The windings, coupled with the core, help to transform the balanced signal to unbalanced signal (for better utilization of the signal power) and vice versa. This important conversion (of balanced to unbalanced) is also what allows the antenna to be matched with feeders so efficiently.

In terms of electrical connections, the MABA-007237-ETC410 balun has three terminals. The center terminal is the core, which is where the conversion takes place, while the other two terminals are used to connect the balanced (in) and unbalanced (out) signals. The MABA-007237-ETC410 is designed such that it can convert balanced signals having a frequency range of up to 1000 MHz (1GHz). This makes it suitable for transmitting signals with two different polarizations in the same bandwidth. Its maximum impedance transformation ratio is more than 6:1 and it has a maximum insertion loss of 3.2 dB.

Conclusion

The MABA-007237-ETC410 balun is a high-performance, highly efficient device meant for applications related to wideband VHF/UHF antennas with the two-dipole configuration. Its balanced-to-unbalanced conversion capability makes it suitable for applications where higher efficiency of matching between the antenna and the feeder is desired. The two main magnetic windings, coupled with the balun’s core, facilitate the balanced-to-unbalanced signaltransformation. It has a frequency range of up to 1GHz and maximum impedance transformation ratio of more than 6:1, as well as a maximum insertion loss of 3.2 dB.
