Abstract
In one embodiment, a balanced to unbalanced transformer utilizes a crossover configuration such that some portion of the secondary coil (inductor) is shared between two resonators (capacitors). Adding a first capacitor in parallel with a portion of the secondary inductor creates a first harmonic trap (filter), and also efficiently uses the secondary coil (inductor) as a resonating element. Adding a second capacitor which shares (crossover configuration) a portion of the secondary inductor with the first capacitor creates a second harmonic trap (filter), which may be tuned to the same harmonic as the first harmonic trap, or may be tuned to a different harmonic.
