Figure 17

Equivalent circuit representation of the TCDA-IB array in Figure 5. The top graphic provides a one to one correspondence between the Marchand balun in Figure 2 and its equivalent transmission line circuit representation. The bottom circuit is a recasting of the equivalent transmission line circuit into a more typical RF circuit showing the open ( ) and short circuit ( ) impedances of the balun itself.
