HF Impedance Transformer Kits

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.

These impedance transformer kits have been designed for the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) enthusiast and Instructor workshops on baluns and ununs for antenna matching and RFI use.

The impedance transformers are classified in ratios of 2:1 (100:50 ohm) to 16:1 (800:50 ohm).  The outputs can be configured as balanced (Balun) or as unbalanced (unun) with respect to the inputs which are considered all unbalanced coax at 50 ohms.  All impedance transformers are designed for 1.8-31 MHz unless otherwise specified.
