SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TUNING TRANSFORMERS

摘要

A system and method for tuning a transformer is provided. A transformer fixture may connect a switching network to a plurality of inductors of a transformer. At least one computing device may calculate a target number of turns for a primary coil and a secondary coil of the transformer based on a frequency response of the transformer. The switching network may connect the inductors of the transformer together in a pattern that results in the primary coil and secondary coil having the target number of turns.
