HF High Power Impedance Transformers

sleeve balun   45 degrees gif - HF High Power Impedance Transformers

Palomar 1:1 feed line choke kits are current baluns (split output) or ununs (coax output). They consist of several models with 5-15 large ferrite beads that slip over the coax (but will not slip over a connector). Also included are three lengths of shrink tubing to enclose the balun and hold the beads in place on the cable. They work from 1.8-300 MHz (see impedance table for each product for measured choking impedance levels for 5-15 beads) and allow use of full power rating of the coaxial cable at an SWR of 1:1. No tools are required for installation, just a source of heat to shrink the tubing using a heat gun, lighter, matches.

The high power ferrite impedance transformer series (> 1:1), configured with outputs to act as a baluns (unbalanced coax in to balanced load output) or as ununs (unbalanced coax input to unbalanced load output) are designed for demanding radio transmitter stations that run over 1,000 watts PEP or run continuous modes like AM, digital, RTTY, FM, etc. at high power levels. Radio contest operators, commercial shortwave broadcast, and industrial and commercial stations use these transformers for for a variety of balanced and unbalanced antenna loads.  Baluns are typically used for balanced loads and antennas like dipoles, loops, log periodics, and direct feed yagi/beams.  Ununs are used  with verticals, end fed wires, horizontal dipoles, G5RV/ZS6BKW, Zepps, vertical wire beams, etc).  All products are in an enclosed NEMA water resistant box with SO-239 input connector and stainless steel side/top studs with wing nuts or side and top eyebolts.  The enclosure box has mounting “side feet” for attachment to a post or antenna boom using nylon ties.
