what is making that signal in the first place? how much time lapses between the start of the waveform and the end? what frequency is the waveform? what do you intend to drive with the output? what you use to amplify it will depend a lot on the answers to those questions.
A Transformer Won't do it.
Build yourself a Suitable Amplifier Circuit.
For an Increase of 5 Times, Probably with a Transistor output and using a 30 or 40 volt supply.
this is a self powered circuit with no external power supply.
if this is for energy harvesting, you may be able to do voltage multiplication with diode-capacitor ladders. using schottky diodes would maximize efficiency
Hi Guys,
I tried to multiply the voltage of the attached waveform by 5 but I couldn't find the appropriate type of transformer. All the transformers I have used distorted the waveform.
Can any body lead me to choose the best transformer ?
A transformer should increase the voltage without significant distortion.
What does the transformer output look like?
What is the transformer load?
If all you are doing is harvesting energy why are you concerned about distortion of the waveform? The wave shape is irrelevant; it's the area under the curve which is of interest for your purpose.
You should be able to use a standard 60Hz line transformer. What type of transformer did you use?By the way how could I choose the primary and secondary inductance in mH and the number of wires in each coil?

A normal 60Hz power transformer has a primary inductance in the range of Henrys not milli-Henrys.yes this transformer may be good but I have only about 15mjoules electrical energy.
The transformer I have used has a primary inductance of 30mH and a secondary of 200mH. It is a standard transformer.
