Abstract
Some of the basic concepts of obtaining desired function characteristics using magnetic amplifiers with idealized core characteristics are presented. The core-characteristic test procedure is explained along with the results of some tests. The effect of parameter variation is shown and the causes of nonlinearities are discussed. Some new magnetic amplifier circuitry is shown and their use in the analog computer field is indicated.
