For production quantities, the braid in T

may be made
of brass or copper tubes with their ends soldered to pieces
of PC board laminate. See cover picture and Motorola
AN-749 for details.
The bandwidth characteristics of these transformers do
not equal those of the transmission line type, but they’re
much easier to duplicate.
The measured performance of the amplifier is shown in
figures 1, 2, and 3 and harmonic rejection data in table 1.
