Allodoxaphobia,
you must be talking about a tv 'splitter', rather than the balun
(remember, the balun has a 300-ohm cable on one end and a place to screw
coax on the other side.)
it wouldn't (normally) have 3db loss like a splitter would.

Hello, and these broadband 4:1 (impedance ratio) baluns most often are
voltage type using two transformers. ... ... ...

Only the 'quality' ones. I've seen too many that were simply
resistor bridges. More like a 6dB insertion loss per leg than
the 'ideal' 3dB loss in a quality transformer-built version.

Yep. You are correct -- I was misreading what my eyes were taking in.
Tho' it would not surprise me to see some cheap 'balun' consisting
of 100ohm-75ohm-100ohm in series with the coax tacked across the
75ohm resistor....
