#278 In this video I go trough the steps of designing and then testing a balun. Rather than just making a random inductor, I decide to try am do things properly and design the transformer based on an actual use case. Once the transformer is built, I go trough various tests to try an validate the obtained performance.

Balun series:
Ep1 - Communication lines and baluns youtu.be/EojKvuc9xck
Ep2 - Voltage and Current baluns youtu.be/NkxLXQ32GDQ
Ep3 - Energy coupling youtu.be/83QRK1ULmY8
Ep4 - Transmission line baluns youtu.be/gS0YBCNYViY
Ep5 - Transmission line experiments: youtu.be/la1VS7YVE0M
Ep6 - The Ruthroff Transformer: youtu.be/iVuXRdcmmTQ
