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 ?
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.

This signal is generated from an electromagnetic coil. Its total time is about 13 msec. the signal has a main frequency of about 60Hz. This will drive a bridge and then charge a cap.
if this is for energy harvesting, you may be able to do voltage multiplication with diode-capacitor ladders. using schottky diodes would maximize efficiency

Bazramit, it is better to continue the existing thread you have on the subject. If you feel you need to start a new thread, then at least post a link to the previous thread, so new contributors can see what's already been covered.
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.

if this is for energy harvesting, you don't want a transformer either. you will lose anywhere from 5-10% of the energy. you may get more voltage, but at the cost of less current. if the source produces 1 milliwatt, the transformer will reduce it to 900 microwatts because of losses in the windings.
