ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a passive, highly efficient, low noise coupling device that includes a balun and noise reduction circuitry uniquely configured for converting an unbalanced video signal on a 75 ohm transmission line or connector to a balanced signal on a 100 ohm transmission line or connector and vice versa. The device efficiently allows use of a 100 ohm unshielded twisted pair, such as a conventional telephone cable, for multiplex transmission of video signals or the like in the frequency range of 50 to 500 megahertz. The preferred embodiment has a circuit board with a 75 ohm unbalanced side and a 100 ohm balanced side separated by a balun having a toroid core with a very high permeability. A common mode choke for noise rejection is inserted in the balanced side. The choke has a dual toroid core, one core of high permeability and one of low permeability, and has windings with a 100 ohm characteristic impedance. A common mode toroid shunt on the device's balanced side provides further noise reduction. Circuit board traces connecting the components are impedance matched to either the balanced side or the unbalanced side as appropriate.
