  • Abstract
    This article deals with a preliminary electrical characterization of a Rosen-type piezoelectric transformer (PT) used to generate plasma discharge. This unusual application of piezoelectric transformer leads to a specific nonlinear electrical behavior. It is essential to identify the concerned physical mechanisms for a better understanding of the operational energy conversions.
