The heart of the Un-un uses a Type 43 [FT240-43] core and consists of a trifilar [3 wire] winding arrangement around the core. The wires are wound to create a 9:1 transformer and would ideally suit an end-fed long wire antenna fed against ideally – a good counterpoise, or a good radial system.
Start with the end of the wire in the center of the toroid and begin winding as shown in the image to the right. Make about 7-10 full turns, evenly spaced around the toroid. The starting end of the wire will solder to the “GND” pad on the PCB.
The toroid is a T130-2 Iron Powder core, with 3 x 9 turns of 18SWG enammeled copper wire, and the connections can be seen below. The triple winding connections. 8 turns is shown here, but more turns is preferred. 10 would be ideal.

21 maj 2022 · With no goals and constraints, here is a coaxial wound 9:1 UnUn. Performance is very poor. and also. The first link shows the typical 9:1 UnUn while your second link is about BalUns. I assumed from the title, the goal was to make an UnUn. Specifically a 9:1. The OP was only testing from 3-30MHz, with a worse case VSWR of 1.4:1.
12 sie 2016 · It’s relatively easy to build a 9:1 balun. One of the most common designs is to wind nine turns of a trifilar winding around a toroid core. Trifilar means that there are three wires wound simultaneously around the core.
4 cze 2021 · Easiest way to find out is to build it and measure empirically. Using triple windings allows closer wire spacing between the transformer input and output (primary and secondary) windings which can improve the magnetic coupling coefficient.
