2023-F-001-9 | Standard 1/1 Balun for Wire Antennas 9kW

Function

• 1/1 High Power Current BALUN with two side installed eye bolts for strain relief of the antenna wires.
• Wideband version with superior common-mode current rejection.
• Drastically reduces coaxial cable sheath currents, thus avoiding RF feedback during transmission.
• Ensures that in RX mode, common-mode noise originated in your environment is effectively isolated from the signal path.

Mechanical Characteristics

• Optimized 61 mm diameter toroidal ferrites (extra core for 9kW support)
• Heat resistant teflon coaxial cable with high breakdown voltage.
• Professional 50 Ohms N-connector or SO239 connector. (IP64 after sealing with self- vulcanizing tape or equivalent).
• Stainless steel M6 antenna connections and Stainless steel eye bolts. Stainless steel type 316 More info.
• Waterproofed (IP64) and shock proof polycarbonate UV resistant enclosure. More info. (larger valve to support larger temperature differences) 
• Weight: +/- 500 g.

Electrical properties

• Conservatively rated 1/1 transmission line transformer.
• Operation principle: Coaxial Common-Mode Choke.
• Very high common-mode impedance (Substantially higher than what’s obtainable with the “beads over coax” approach).
• Max. power:
• 9000 W PeP @ VSWR < 2.0/1 (ICAS)
• 5000 W PeP @ VSWR < 2.0/1 (CCS)
• For ICAS and CCS power definitions, More info

• Deployable frequency range: 1.5 to 50 MHz.
• Low HF variant: optimized for 1,5 – 15 MHz.
• Mid HF variant: optimized for 3 – 30 MHz.
• High HF variant: optimized for 5 – 50 MHz. 
  
  
• Insertion Loss: < 0.05 dB
• Intrinsic VSWR : < 1.15 / 1 at the frequency range edges.
