Theory and design of high-power pulse transformers

This paper describes the function and practical design of high-power pulse transformers as applied to radar pulse transmitters. The effects of pulse-transformer constants on the load pulse-shape are analysed and optimum values for the various relationships derived. The characteristics of magnetic core-materials under conditions of pulse magnetization and practical and theoretical methods of measuring and estimating them are discussed. Apparatus for measuring pulsemagnetization characteristics is described.
