  • Winfing a High Ratio Transformer

    From amdx62@gmail.com@21:1/5 to All on Sun Oct 16 06:04:05 2022
    Sorry using GG, I have newsreader problem after updating Thunderbird, I haven't solved yet.

    In a thread about a low impedance transformer for a Q meter, it was suggested two cascaded two 10 to 1 transformers
    to get 100 to 1 ratio. 3C90 material was used.
    I have 3F3 that is similar but a little lower ui. I'm hoping flat 100kHz to 100MHz, but really only need 30MHz.

    I have pot cores, are there any tricks to winding that will make for better coupling or less strays?


    Is there any advantage to a wide band for the one turn secondary vs a single 22 gauge wire? I have copper strap
    or brass shim stock.

    Put the one turn on outside, on inside?

    I have room for 12 turns, put the one turn right in the middle, 5 turns on each side?

    I've built one, but I need a better jig to measure with the NanoVna. Parts on the way.

    Thanks, For you input, Mikek
