A recently introduced line of surface mount baluns is set to revolutionize the architecture of power amplifier subsystems
Using a 180 [degrees] balun amplifier, commonly known as a push-pull amplifier, has many advantages over a single-ended or hybrid amplifier. The implementation of the balun amplifier on a production scale has typically been hampered by the requirement for either a large printed microstrip network or an equally unwieldy hand-mounted coaxial transmission line. A recently introduced line of surface mount baluns from Anaren Microwave, Inc. (East Syracuse, New York), represents a breakthrough in the mass manufacture of push-pull amplifiers and is ...
