Transformers for electronic circuits
This book has been written by a transformer design engineer for the users of electronic transformers - the circuit, systems, and standards engineers, as well as the many other working engineers in the electronics industry. Each chapter stresses topics and concepts of major importance in modern electronic circuits. These include: 1. The basic, as well as the newer, functions of the transformer, 2. The iron-copper area product; the d-c inverter transformer, 3. The vulnerable areas of the transformer, 4. Techniques of thermal design; 5. Miniaturization, 6. Complex permeability; the uQf merit factor; bounds on harmonic distortion, 7. Gap design for the polarized inductor, 8. The band-span parameters, 9. concepts from network synthesis employed for optimum wide-band performance, 10. Relations between rise and fall times of rectangular pulses; bandwidth and pulse-squareness ration, 11. Concepts from network synthesis employed for optimum pulse performance.
