A broadband RF transformer design is described that facilitates the construction of a broadband impedance transformer in a compact, planar format, while retaining ease of assembly and manufacture. Broadband operation is achieved through the use of a slotted low-impedance winding structure, common-manufacture ferrite elements, and the optional placement of reactive elements between winding turns. By virtue of construction, thermal performance is enhanced, allowing operation at power levels not previously possible. The invention accommodates functional tuning via laser or abrading techniques. Also, the winding configuration eliminates the need to access the center of a spiral for the purposes of establishing a ground connection.
