#204 In this video I continue looking at baluns by exploring what exactly makes the current balun different from the voltage balun. Both are commonly used, and both have similar end proprieties - they link a balanced signal to an unbalanced one, but what exactly makes them different?
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
Ep7 - The Guanella Transformers: youtu.be/QAYaetJ1dvM
EP8 - LC baluns: youtu.be/Lne2knTHbds

![EMC tutorials - [1/3] Building an LISN
#114 In this video I look at the specifications and parameters behind a line impedance stabilization network, or LISN. I look at what is the purpose of the various components is and then take a closer look at how the values need to be chosen. Finally I build such a device.
