Two types of shoes are worn in Irish stepdance; hard shoes, which make sounds similar to tap shoes, and soft shoes (called Ghillies), which are similar to ballet slippers. The dances for soft shoe and hard shoe are generally different and go by different names. Different music with
Transformer types impedances between circuits over a limited range of frequencies, using only a length of transmission line. The line may be coaxial cable, waveguide, stripline, or microstrip. Baluns are transformers designed specifically to connect between balanced (non-grounded) and unbalanced (grounded) circuits. These are sometimes made from configurations of transmission line and sometimes bifilar or coaxial cable and are similar to transmission line transformers in construction and operation. Baluns can be designed to not only interface between balanced and unbalanced loads, but to additionally provide impedance matching between those load types. Ferrite-core transformers are widely used in (intermediate frequency) (IF) stages in
