Mini-Circuits Balun NCS4-232+

The NCS4-232+ is a wideband RF transformer designed for operation in the frequency range of 1600 to 2300 MHz with a 1:4 impedance ratio. It features low phase unbalance of 5 degrees and amplitude unbalance of 0.5 dB typical, making it suitable for applications requiring precise signal integrity. The device is constructed using LTCC technology, which contributes to its miniature size of 0.079"x0.049"x0.033" and allows for aqueous washing, enhancing its usability in various environments. This balun can handle an RF power of up to 3W and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C, with storage temperatures from -55°C to 100°C. The insertion loss is specified at a maximum of 1.0 dB across its operational frequency range. The product is ideal for applications in WLAN, WCDMA, and PCS systems, making it a versatile choice for engineers looking for reliable RF transformation solutions.
