1. balun
   (electronics) 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. (1996-10-17)

13. Balun
    A `balun` () is a type of electrical transformer that can convert electrical signals that are balanced about ground (differential) to signals that are unbalanced (single-ended), and the reverse. They are also often used to connect lines of differing impedance. The origin of the word balun is `bal`(a...
