If I neeed a 16:1 transformer with certain frequency characteristics and could only find 1:1 transformers with those frequency characteristcs, could I get 16 transformers and put all the primaries in parallel and all the secondaries in series to get the same effect (to pass and setup up a ultrasonic signal from 12Vpp to ~200Vpp). Or would doing this adversely affect the frequency responses. 16 transformers in series-parallel is still a heck of a lot of transformers though...with a lot of winding resistance and a huge inductance.
There is another transformer I coudl use but my frequency range of interest is right at the -3dB point while all the harmonics I'm don't want to pass are sitting across the optimal range of the transformer at the -0.5dB range.
THanks.
THe third alternative is to wind my own transformer. It's not very demanding but I need it in a strange frequency range and I cna't seem to find one. I'm still trying to find info and parts on winding your own transformers, but it sounds like a fairly hit or miss affair in that you can't really predict the bandwidth and attenuation in the bandwidth ahead of time. Any resources would be appreciated.
200Vp@25m-50A
-0.5dB to -1dB from 50kHz-100kHz
preferable to have -3dB up to 500kHz
16:1 ratio
