Air core transformer design - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Hi,

I need to design a high-frequency, low power air core transformer implemented by conductors printed on PCB.

Does anyone know about an application notes, free software or java applet which cam assist me in this case

Thanx in advance

What sort of frequency range and powers are you talking about?
Thanks!

Less than 20mW....
About the frequency - since i'm dealing with miniature air core transformer it has to be several hundreds of MHz or even GHz...

So many people go to the trouble to ask questions on this website, but don't give any details for there requirments.

Are you designing a transformer? What's the impedance ratio? Is it balanced to unbalanced? What's the bandwidth? Center frequency?

find out transformer capacity such that voltage drop across this transformer is not more than 20% when 500kW motor is started.
(.8 power factor)
