This type of balun is to be found in most textbooks & many aerial designs. It
is a 1:1 balun & does not alter the impedance.
 

fatter outer) braid or pipe over the top of the feeder. It is electrically
connected to the coax braid 1/4 wave from the balanced feeder connections.







This works by hiding the unbalanced outer aerial connections from the outside
world so it can't radiate.

In practice I recommend heatshrink sleeving & heat glue it used to seal the add
outer section.

Common mode Z is only high at the resonant frequency, where it eliminates any 
outer feeder current on the unbalanced coax.

Why don't U send an interesting bul?
