Thedouble-ybalun,transitioningfromanunbalancedcoplanarwaveguide(CPW)toabalancedcoplanarstrip (CPS), was originally developed for use with balanced mixers. In this paper, the feasibility of this balun for feedingpulsedantennaswasinvestigatedviatime-domainpatternmeasurementsofaresistivelyloadedV-dipole. The need for a balun when feeding a symmetric antenna is illustrated via time-domain pattern measurements of the resistively loaded V-dipole with and without the double-y balun. Keywords: Balun, double-y balun, balanced, unbalanced, coplanar waveguide, coplanar strip
