baluns are transformers and the impedance ratio is related to the turns
ratio. If you have a dipole antenna the centre feed point is about 75 ohms and if you have 75 ohm coax the balun needs to be 1 : 1 . If you have an end fed antenna the feed point can be anything from 600 - 1000 ohms so a 4:1 to 8:1 ratio matches the coax. Bit of experimentation. use the one that works best. Feed point impedance depends on the frequency, so measurements, while possible, tell you an exact answer to a question where close enough is an OK answer. Robert |
