I understand the theory of impedance matching but the practicality of it i'm still struggling with.
I want to put the signal from a signal generator into a transformer and step up the voltage.
The system would be:
Sig gen (output 10V AC, 50 ohms, 0.5amps, 100KHz) ---> transformer primary (10uH, impeadance 6 ohms at 100KHz ) --> transfromer secondary (1500uH) ----> R_load
How do i get the 10V across the transformer primary?
I tried putting a 50 ohm resistor in series with the signal generator output but then the voltage just appeared across the resistor. I tried putting the 50 ohm resistor in parallel with the transformer primary and the voltage was tiny.
What is the simplest way to impedance match the signal generator with the transformer?
Thanks.
