Abstract

This paper presents an optimal design methodology of monolithic high voltage pulse transformers based on the direct 2D FEA identification of the electrical equivalent circuit parameters. This method is applied to the preliminary optimal design of the monolithic high voltage pulse transformer for the future CLIC modulators under study at CERN. The feasibility of such a transformer with tight specifications is demonstrated. The predicted performances obtained with the direct 2D FEA optimization process is validated by 3D FEA simulation.
