Inductors and Baluns
Precision Inductors and Baluns for High‑Integrity RF Signal Control
Featured Inductors
Knowles inductors deliver high‑Q, low‑loss performance with stable high-frequency inductance, and non-magnetic linearity. Offered in both ceramic core and air core constructions, these inductors support medical imaging, defense, aerospace, communications, and industrial RF applications. Non‑magnetic designs minimize saturation and distortion, while a range of surface‑mount and through‑hole options enables flexible integration into compact, high‑reliability systems.
Key Highlights:
- High-Q, low-loss RF performance with minimal attenuation.
- Stable, predictable inductance at high frequencies.
- Ceramic core and air core constructions for design flexibility.
- Non-magnetic designs for improved linearity.
- Surface-mount and through-hole formats for compact, reliable integration.
Featured Baluns
Knowles baluns enable efficient conversion between balanced and unbalanced signals, supporting impedance matching and signal integrity in RF and microwave systems. Designed for compact integration and reliable high‑frequency performance, these devices help simplify RF architectures while minimizing loss and distortion. Baluns are commonly used in antennas, transceivers, and RF front‑end designs across communications, defense, and industrial applications.
Key Highlights:
- Balanced to unbalanced signal conversion. Facilitates clean transitions between balanced and unbalanced circuits, supporting proper signal routing in RF and microwave designs.
- Supports impedance matching. Helps minimize reflections and maximize power transfer by matching source and load impedances in RF signal paths.
- Preserves signal integrity. Designed to reduce noise, reflections and distortion, contributing to cleaner and more reliable high-frequency signal transmission.
- Compact, integration friendly designs. Optimized for space constrained RF front end architectures, simplifying layout and system design.
- Proven across RF applications. Commonly used in antennas, transceivers, and RF front end designs for communications, defense and industrial systems where performance and reliability are critical.
