6 to 1 balun design
I am looking for a 6 to 1 balun, 300 ohms balanced to 50 ohms coax. I
don't need one that handles transmitter power as I am only using it for a
receiving antenna.
I have on hand several hundred feet of 50 ohm coax, RG58 modified (IEEE
802.3). I want to use it to connect my 300 ohm TV dipole antenna in my
attic to my HDTV in the basement. And, of course, I would need a 50 ohm
to 75 ohm match at the HDTV.
We only watch over-the-air TV. Why? Because I live within 2 miles of
three 1000 ft TV towers. In fact, the dipole in the basement works quite
well. But I do get dropouts during storms; go figure. I get 17 channels
for free, so why go cable or FIOS. Nothing worthwhile there anyway.
So can someone point me to a good site for balun design. I've done the
Google searches, but all that I find seem to be for high power
applications.
Any help would be appreciated.
