Hi,
If I am correct, baluns is used on a pair of balanced lines to unbalance them. A balanced pair of lines are two lines connected to a load whereby the waveform on the feed line cancels out the waveform on the return line. An example of balanced lines is your twin antenna leads for your TV set. The signals on the two lines cancel each other out to prevent transmission from the lines into the air.
My question is: why would one want unbalanced lines?
Thanks,
John
