Among the topics of interest to radio amateurs, baluns are of
particular interest as
they are to be found in balanced amplifiers and antenna matching
networks, especially
in the case of balanced antennas such as dipoles.
The author describes
the alternatives available in the design of transformers for solid state RF
amplifiers. The key parameters of different construction techniques are
discussed with results shown for each.
Another article of the same author which describes 4:1 single core baluns is
available HERE.
An interesting document made by NEOSID about the characteristics of
ferrite magnetic materials is available HERE. And HERE you can find another interesting
document related to toroids and their magnetic cores for power supply
equipments. And HERE you can find the Mini Ring Core
Calculator which can be used for all toroids to make any type of
magnetic core device.
E invece QUI troverete un simpatico tool in DOS per il
calcolo dei trasformatori RF con toroidi AMIDON, una vera chicca per i
radioamatori. Just in Italian, sorry!
