RF BALUNs & RF Switches – Control, Convert, and Connect with Precision
BALUNs and RF switches are essential tools in RF and microwave systems. A BALUN (Balanced to Unbalanced converter) helps interface balanced antennas or circuits with unbalanced systems like coaxial cables, while RF switches enable seamless signal routing between multiple paths. Our selection includes wideband, high-isolation components for lab setups, telecom infrastructure, SDR (Software Defined Radio), and automated RF testing systems. Achieve clean conversion, low insertion loss, and reliable signal switching with our top-grade products.
