balun:

A transformer connected between a balanced source or load and an unbalanced source or load. A balanced line has two conductors, with equal currents in opposite directions. The unbalanced line has just one conductor; the current in it returns via a common ground or earth path.


balun: Abbreviation for balanced to unbalanced. In radio frequency usage, a device used to couple a balanced device or line to an unbalanced device or line.
