Balun

class pmrf.models.components.ideal.Balun(N: Any = 1.0, *, name: str | None = None, metadata: Any = None)

Bases: Model

(experimental) An ideal, lossless, frequency-independent 3-port 1:N balun.

This is a Transformer whose primary is referenced to ground, converting the single-ended port 1 into the balanced pair of ports 2 and 3, such that \(V_2 - V_3 = N V_1\).

The S-parameters are constant across all frequencies and are independent of the characteristic impedance.

Parameters:

N (Param) – The turns ratio (1:N) from the single-ended side to the balanced side. Defaults to 1.0, for which this is equivalent to a SourceConverter.

N: Param = 1.0
