Abstract
Abstract A balun transformer with a common mode coil is formed by parallel two-strand cable wound around a common core having through-holes through which the cable passes. The common mode coil can be connected either on the input side or the output side of the balun transformer. Because only one core is used to form both the balun transformer and the common mode coil, the outer dimensions of the transformer can be reached, along with manufacturing costs, to reduce the number of man-hours required to manufacture the transformer by this invention. This configuration also permits shorter connections between the balun transformer and the common mode coil.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
117 words
A balun transformer with a common mode coil characterized in that parallel two-strand cable wound around a core having through-holes through which said cable passes composes both a balun transformer for converting impedance and a common mode coil for removal of noise, wherein the common mode coil is configured to be connected to one of an input side and an output side of said balun transformer, and wherein four of said through-holes are formed in the core, two of which allow a first parallel two-strand cable to pass therethrough constituting said balun transformer for impedance conversion and a winding of another parallel two-strand cable passing through the remaining two holes constituting a common coil for noise removal.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
117 words
A balun transformer with a common mode coil characterized in that parallel two-strand cable wound around a core having through-holes through which said cable passes composes both a balun transformer for converting impedance and a common mode coil for removal of noise, wherein the common mode coil is configured to be connected to one of an input side and an output side of said balun transformer, and wherein four of said through-holes are formed in the core, two of which allow a first parallel two-strand cable to pass therethrough constituting said balun transformer for impedance conversion and a winding of another parallel two-strand cable passing through the remaining two holes constituting a common coil for noise removal.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
57 words
A balun transformer with common mode coil as claimed in claim1, in which the core is made from ferrite and the balun transformer can perform impedance conversion from 300Ω to 75Ω and from a balanced state to an unbalanced state, as well as conversion from 75Ω to 300Ω and from an unbalanced state to a balanced state.
