Theory and Practice of Transmission Line Transformers CD-ROMThis tutorial introduces the theory and practice of transmission line transformers (TLT). The TLT, which was first introduced by Guanella in 1944, was meant to match the high impedance of a 960-ohm push-pull vacuum tube amplifier to the low impedance of a 60-ohm coaxial cable in the high-frequencyband. Although Guanella's objective could never be realized, his goal remains useful today. With the advent of the transistor, the TLT can be applied to matching low impedances to coaxial cable of up to 50 ohms. Understanding transmission line theory is a prerequisite to understanding TLTs because they transmit energy from input to output by a transmission mode. In an innovative approach to the subject, Sevick divides TLTs into four classes: TLTs with ratios of 1:1, 1:4, less than 1:4 and greater than 1:4. The first two sections in this course cover 1:1 baluns and 1:4 baluns and ununs, as discussed by Guanella and Ruthroff. Additional sections review TLTs with ratios less than 1:4 and greater than 1:4, such as 1:6, 1:9, 1:12. The course concludes with a discussion of information on diode mixers and power combiners\splitters.
The material covered in this course provides incentive to investigate:
This course allows you to move through each session at your own speed and requires no extra work books.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Windows 95/98/2000/NT/XP or higher
Pentium II 333 MHz or faster
64 MB of available RAM (128 MB recommended)
CD-ROM drive
sound card
NAVIGATING
Navigation is similar to any computer-based information application. Clearly designated sections with an intuitive layout leave no frustrating distractions.
1) The CD-ROM can be started from any PC that has Windows 95 (or higher), at least 64 MB of RAM, a sound card and speakers.
2) The material may be accessed by either choosing to view the course start to finish, or by choosing individual pages of interest.
3) Once the course is started, no interaction is required. The course can be paused at any point, and can be viewed page by page like a book.

Transmission Line TransformersThis fourth edition contains all the valuable information from earlier editions: the classic techniques of Guanella and Ruthroff as well as hundreds of real transformers constructed and measured to establish the practical levels of bandwidth and loss performance that can be obtained with transmission transformer techniques. This new edition expands the coverage of what is already the most comprehensive book on this subject.
Three new chapters cover:
The new information includes observations and analyses by Jerry Sevick intended to clarify the principles behind the operation of these transformers. An entirely new chapter presents the family of equal-delay transformers that enable designers to obtain the benefits of transmission line transformer performance with a wider range of transformation ratios. Written by Gary Breed, K9AY, this chapter maintains Sevick’s practical tone with construction details and performance evaluation of a 50–to–75-ohm equal-delay transformer.
