Tubular feed line chokes (a.k.a. coax line isolators) are convenient for insertion in the coax feed line at the antenna feed point or the station entrance and they include an optional ground lug and static bleeder for attachment to a ground rod. Very useful as coax line isolators along a long coax feed line to break up resonances every 1/2 wavelength. Very wide bandwidth, up to 45db common mode suppression ensures transmitted signal stay on antenna when installed at antenna feedpoint or that common mode coax braid noise is reduced when receiving weak signals when installed at radio end of coax. 500/1500/5000 watt options and various frequency ranges available.
CUBE Impedance Transformers (<1:1, 1:1, >1:1)
Palomar Engineers offers a variety of impedance transformers configured as Baluns (balanced coax to unbalanced load) or Ununs (unbalanced coax to unbalanced load) for matching typical 50 ohm feed line impedances to antenna or other load impedances.
We specify impedance ratios as an output to input ratio where the output (or load) is given first and the input is given second (e.g. 100:50 (2:1) would mean a 100 ohm output and a 50 ohm input; a 25:50 (1:2) would mean a 25 ohm load and a 50 ohm input). Most all products use a 50 ohm input unless otherwise specified.
We have products that are available as kits for the do-it-yourself (DIY) person or fully assembled and tested units for the “Plug & Play” crowd.
Note: we use stainless steel eye bolts and studs for all of our balun products. Most balun/unun boxes are 4" x 4" x 2" with some 5KW Hybrids are 4" x4" x 4" size.
