WHAT DOES BALUN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

balun

Balun

A balun /ˈbælʌn/ is an electrical device that converts between a balanced signal and an unbalanced signal. A balun can take many forms and may include devices that also transform impedances but need not do so. Transformer baluns can also be used to connect lines of differing impedance. The origin of the word balun is balance + unbalance. Baluns can take many forms and their presence is not always obvious. Sometimes, in the case of transformer baluns, they use magnetic coupling but need not do so. Common-mode chokes are also used as baluns and work by eliminating, rather than ignoring, common mode signals. A variation of this device is the UNUN, which transfers signal from one unbalanced line to another.

Definition of balun in the English dictionary

The definition of balun in the dictionary is a device for coupling two electrical circuit elements, such as an aerial and its feeder cable, where one is balanced and the other is unbalanced.
