Application Note: Anaren 0404 (BD2425N50ATI) Balun Optimized For Texas Instruments CC2500 Transceiver

Over the last few years, the drive for miniaturization and integration has intensified the challenges concerning the trade off between repeatability, cost and time to market. The design must be robust enough to achieve good yields, but also have the lowest possible bill of material cost. The total cost not only depends on the number and types of parts and their associated cost, but also on the size of the PCB and enclosure.
