We offer a variety of inverting transformers and differential pulse splitters (Baluns). Our Baluns transform an unbalanced 50ohm input into a balanced 100ohm differential output. These Baluns are made of passive components and are therefore bi-directional.
Picosecond's Baluns are an effective means for using single-ended test equipment (VNA's, pattern generators) for taking differential measurments.
Many serial data standards have modest differential s-parameter test requirements. For these serial data applications a pair of PSPL Baluns and a single-ended VNA provide a very cost effective measurement solution.
Please refer to
PSPL Application Note AN-8 "Ultra-wideband Differential Measurements using PSPL Baluns" for detailed information on making differential measurements with the 5320B Balun.
