Bifilar Wound Balun Transformer

rickman · 2012-11-03T21:15:27+00:00

I am learning a bit about antenna design and one of the references I found talks about coupling the antenna to the feedline with a bifilar wound balun transformer. I dug a bit and although I found any number of references talking about bifilar wound baluns, none explained clearly why it is important to be bifilar wound. Any pointers? Rick

Only a couple of hundred million dollars worth.

My first simulation, when I was about 20, was of a 32,000 horsepower steamship propulsion system, all the way from the my control system to the hull moving through the water. I didn't use Spice.

It worked just fine.

Congratulations on coming up with an idea. You don't do it often. For extra credit come up with an idea that makes some kind of sense - you haven't yet, but while there's life there's hope.
