balanced line

[′bal·ənst ‚līn]
(electricity)
A transmission line consisting of two conductors capable of being operated so that the voltages of the two conductors at any transverse plane are equal in magnitude and opposite in polarity with respect to ground.
(industrial engineering)
A production line for which the time cycles of the operators are made approximately equal so that the work flows at a desired steady rate from one operator to the next.

balanced line

A cable design that uses the same wire types for the signal and ground. Twisted pair cable is a balanced line, whereas coaxial cable is not. Contrast with unbalanced line. See balun.

Balun circuits find wide application in a variety of important microwave components such as balanced mixers, push-pull amplifiers, multipliers, antennas and other applications requiring conversion between an unbalanced transmission line, such as coaxial line, microstrip, CPW or [CPW.sub.FGP], and a balanced line, such as two-wire transmission line, slotline, CPS or parallel microstrip.
