Würth Elektronik Improves and Expands its Balun Series
November 27, 2024 | Wurth Elektronik eiSosEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Würth Elektronik has expanded its WE-BAL series of baluns. The components for coupling symmetrical and asymmetrical transmission lines feature improved materials and manufacturing processes, and now cover wider frequency ranges from 673 MHz to 5900 MHz.
In numerous applications, such as antenna systems, audio and video devices, wireless communication systems, PoE systems, and measuring instruments, it is necessary to couple symmetrical and asymmetrical transmission lines in such a way that prevents signal loss. Thanks to their wide frequency range, the SMT baluns from Würth Elektronik enhance signal transmission and minimize interference across a large number of applications. The SMT baluns with symmetrical impedance ranging from 50 to 200 ohms feature a compact design (in 0603 and 0805 packages) and low insertion loss of up to a maximum of 2.0 dB.
