Abstract
Abstract High frequency transformer built from coaxial conductor sections, wherein a pair of coaxial conductor sections of equal length have external conductors which are insulated from each other. The input end of the external conductor of the first coaxial conductor section is connected with the input end of the internal conductor of the second coaxial conductor section and both of the unconnected input end internal and external conductors form input connections. The output end of the internal conductor of the first coaxial conductor section is connected with the output end of the external conductor of the second coaxial conductor section and both of the unconnected output end internal and external conductors form output connections.
