The main role of the pulse transformer was to provide the current for the toroidal field coils which was supplied through fifteen irons cores that were spirally wound from a . 03 millimeter iron strip.

Pulse transformers by definition have a duty cycle of less than 0.5; whatever energy stored in the coil during the pulse must be " dumped " out before the pulse is fired again.

In power-type pulse transformers, a low coupling capacitance ( between the primary and secondary ) is important to protect the circuitry on the primary side from high-powered transients created by the load.

A pulse transformer is typically required when driving higher impedance devices such as klystrons or magnetrons from a PFN . Because the PFN is charged over a relatively long time and then discharged over a very short time, the output pulse may have a peak power of megawatts or even terawatts.

Bobeck was born in Tower Hill, Pennsylvania, received his B . S . ( 1948 ) and M . S . ( 1949 ) degrees in electrical engineering from Purdue University, and in 1949 joined Bell Laboratories where he helped design communication and pulse transformers, and then one of the first solid-state digital computers.
