Chapter Abstract:

Pulse transformers can be classified into induction transformers and transmission line transformers. Induction transformers may employ a ferromagnetic core or an air core. The primary and secondary windings can take the configurations of an autotransformer, independent windings, or cascaded transformers. This chapter deals with air core transformers and their behavior under the conditions of double resonance, off resonance, and triple resonance. In contrast to a conventional transformer, which uses iron or ferrite cores, the Tesla transformer employs an air core. Tapered transmission line transformers can be thought of as derivatives of the very well‐known quarter wave transformer. The quarter wave transformer is a simple technique to match any real load impedance to a transmission line, at a fixed frequency, by inserting a resonant section of transmission line between them. The manufacture of large, laminated iron cores in the 1960s allowed the principle of magnetic induction to be developed for charged particle beam applications.
