Lexicon of Balun and Transformer Configurations

RF baluns and transformers may be some of the most challenging components to select for a given system design. For starters, baluns and transformers are used for a wide variety of functions which partly determine the appropriate configuration for a given application. These functions include (but aren’t limited to):

• Providing DC isolation between circuits
• Enhancing common mode rejection
• Providing an impedance transformation for impedance matching
• Efficiently coupling between balanced and unbalanced circuits
• Inducing a voltage/current step-up or step-down
