Thesis (MScEng)--Stellenbosch University, 2005. / ENGLIAH ABSTRACT: Data transmission plays a cardinal role in today's society. The key element of such a system
is the antenna which is the interface between the air and the electronics. To operate
optimally, many antennas require baluns as an interface between the electronics and the
antenna. This thesis presents the problem definition, analysis and performance
characterization of baluns. Examples of existing baluns are designed, computed and
measured. A comparison is made between the analyzed baluns' results and recommendations
are made. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Data transmissie is van kardinale belang in vandag se samelewing. Antennas is die voegvlak
tussen die lug en die elektronika en vorm dus die basis van die sisteme. Vir baie antennas
word 'n balun, wat die elektronika aan die antenna koppel, benodig om optimaal te
funktioneer. Die tesis omskryf die probleemstelling, analiese en 'n prestasie maatstaf vir
baluns. Prakties word daar gekyk na huidige baluns se ontwerp, simulasie, en metings. Die
resultate word krities vergelyk en aanbevelings word gemaak.
