Optimum Design of an Orthogonal Core Based on a Magnetic Circuit

The operating characteristics of parametric transformers and dc-ac converters with an orthogonal core depend heavily on the core shape. Accordingly, to obtain the optimal design for such devices, the quantitative relationship between the orthogonal core shape and the operating characteristics of the application device are determined. In this paper, the application characteristics are discussed analytically in terms of the orthogonal core shape, with reference to a magnetic circuit model of the core.
