Model FB850
Rev. B
Femto Balun
50Ω to 100Ω Balanced
Description
The FB850 is a low profile sub-miniature balanced to unbalanced transformer
designed for differential inputs and output locations on next generation wireless
chipsets in an easy to use surface mount package covering 802.11a Uni-Band II and
Uni-Band III and the Japanese ISM band (4.9GHz). The FB850 is ideal for high
volume manufacturing and is higher performance than traditional ceramic baluns.
The FB850 has an unbalanced port impedance of 50Ω and a 100Ω balanced port
impedance*. This transformation enables single ended signals to be applied to
differential ports on modern integrated chipsets. The output ports have equal
amplitude (-3dB) with 180 degree phase differential. The FB850 is available on tape
and reel for pick and place high volume manufacturing.
