Pulse Transformer Design Study.

Abstract : This final report describes the design, development of fabrication techniques, fabrication, and testing of two uniform field, air core pulse transformers. The described transformer design minimizes the volume of dielectric material, which provides turn-to-turn insulation, reduces stray series inductance, and thus improves the transformer high frequency response in comparison to conventional pulse transformers. The described pulse transformers are intended for repetitive pulse operation with output voltages of about 200 kV into matched resistive loads. Output pulse width and risetimes are about 10 microsec and 1 microsec (10 to 90 percent) respectively. (Author)
