Usage of BAL-NRF01D3 with AD8341

[Saitama]

Good morning,

In a university project we are using an nRF24L01 chip to produce a signal, which is then split and modulated by means of other devices.

The final stage of each of the split signals is a AD8341 chips which has a 50ohms differential output.

This chip then feeds a ducky antenna via an SMA connector, and as per Analog Devices application notes, a balun is recommended.

 

I was wondering if there's any hint about the performances of the BAL-NRF01D3, if placed at the output of the AD8341. Or, if there's any hint about being it strongly discouraged.

 

Additionally, is there any data available about the phase unbalance of the BAL-NRF01D3?

 

I remain available for clarification, thank you in advance and

 

Best regards

 

Francesco
