5:1 Baluns/Ununs

5:1 CUBE™ Unun – Model CU-5-1500 (50:250 Ohm, 1.8-61 MHz, 1.5KW PEP)

Application. For traveling wave, end fed or portable 20-31 foot vertical antennas the 5:1 unun makes a good transformer for converting 50 ohm coax to a 250 ohm feed point. If you use the antenna on multiple bands, the feed point impedance may not always be 250 ohms and use of the unun at high (>350 ohms) or low (<100 ohms) will require reduced power input or the unun may have its power ratings exceeded and damage to the unun may occur. The (5:1 conversion ratio will change for loads other than 250 ohms unbalanced.

Typical application:

Also available as a balanced output – CB-5-1500

RFI Solution Kits

Palomar Engineers provides a variety of Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI) solutions from 100 KHz to 1000 MHz.

We have many RFI solution kits targeting common RFI problems encountered by consumers, broadcast professionals, radio operators, industrial plant managers, marine/ship operators, solar power contractors, etc. For custom individual RFI problems we offer individual ferrite RFI suppression components in bead, snap on and ring topology to fit various wire/cable configurations for AC/DC power cables, coaxial feed line, and device interconnect cables.

Different ferrite mixes suppress different frequency ranges. To select a mix for your interfering frequency see: Choosing a Ferrite Mix
