Balancing network
Encyclopedia : B : BA : BAL : Balancing network
In a hybrid set, hybrid coil, or resistance hybrid, balancing network is a circuit used to match, i.e., to balance, the impedance of a uniform transmission line, i.e., twisted metallic pair, over a selected range of frequencies. A balancing network is required to ensure isolation between the two ports of the four-wire side of the hybrid.
A balancing network can also be a device used between a balanced device or line and an unbalanced device or line for the purpose of transforming from balanced to unbalanced or from unbalanced to balanced.
