Georg,
If you transform a 20VAC signal from a 50 ohm source into a 250VAC signal, the 250VAC output will be at an impedance of about 7,800 ohms (conservation of energy; Po = Pin). At this high impedance you won't be able to drive virtually any length of coax, even open-circuited, as just a few tens of pF of cable capacitance will cause a significant rolloff at 2 MHz. What load impedance do you intend to drive? BTW, 20Vpp at 50 ohms out of your 'signal generator' is quite a signal - about 1 watt. Is this really the case? Joe W3JDR "Georg Holderied" wrote in message ... I need to build a transformer that transforms the output of a signal generator (0.5-2 Mhz 0-20Vpp into 50 ohms) into two opposite phases at 0-250V. Load is a few picofarads and a short length of shielded cable. Where can I find formulas for winding such a transformer ? Is it preferable to build it as an air or on a ferrite core ? What ferrite material would I use ? BTW the signal is used for driving multipole ion traps. I am an electrical engineer but have not much experience with RF. George |
