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.
 









feed points. The dead coax is what it says, a shorted out at both ends bit that

wave back from the aerial where the braids join together. At the aerial end the
dead coax is connected to the feeder's inner.




centre is at RF ground & therefore can be connected to the feed coax outer
without any RF left on the outer of the coax skin.

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