In all analysis of resonance at RLC circuits, the concept of equality in the inductive reactance and capacitive reactance generates the maximum energy transfer. In the same way, this concept is applied to transformers, due to parasitic capacitances present inter turns (Costa, 2009). Such concept determines explanation of several phenomena of the induced EMF on coils, showing through differential equations and others formalisms of how happens this phenomenon (Costa, 2009a). However, phenomena as secondary energy at Tesla Transformer (that is a pulse transformer (Lord, 1971), where the input energy is a square wave) present some problems that are not fully comprehensible, as the high energy in secondary coil apparently greater then input energy, which was explained in (Costa, 2009b; Costa, 2010) as the sum of responses of the induced EMF at secondary coil. By other side, when analysing these same transformers with input energy as sinusoidal excitation, the induced EMF at resonance appears in the same way, but with smaller gain.

Considering planar coils, several researches are found, applied to microcircuits (Kaware *et al*, 1984; Conway, 2008; Anioin *et al*, 2008; Oshiro, 1987), as well in planar transformers (Oshiro et al, 1989). By other side, several analysis of coils, considering planar coils and ring coils, forming special transformers has been analysed, exciting one (primary) and verifying the other (secondary), in a experimental way, to find new expectations in this area.

When exciting primary coil in these transformers, built with planar coil versus ring coil, called direct system (having the planar coil or the ring coil as primary, and the other as the secondary) or planar coil versus ring coil (called inverted system), the effect of induced EMF at secondary coil presents some common characteristic previously yields studied in circuit theory (as resonance due the RLC characteristic of the transformer). However, with the experimental analysis of the induced EMF in these transformers, when exciting primary coil with square wave and sinusoidal wave, although are found resonance frequencies at frequencies (above 3 MHz) depending of the configuration (number of turns in each coil, and type of coil – planar or ring), gain variations are seen. Also, on resonance frequencies, other phenomena are seen, as high voltage gain in the transformer, even if the primary coil of the transformer presents less turns than the secondary, which contradicts ideal transformer theory.

These cases are analysed here, showing these phenomena, and checking the problem in some mathematical and experimental analysis. The induced EMF from primary coil to secondary coil at transformers in the resonance has shown several properties that generates

Inductances and mutual inductances of the coils (Hurley and Duffy, 1997; Su, Liu and Hui, 2009) are calculated using procedure presented in (Babic and Akyel, 2000; Babic et al., 2002; Babic and Akyel, 2006; Babic and Akyel, 2008), where some of obtained magnitudes of self

This chapter treats of this problem, checking some experimental results, and mathematical formalisms that explain some properties and phenomena that occurs at secondary coil when the resonance frequency is reached in the coupled circuit (transformer), due to induced EMF generated by the excitation of the primary coil with square wave or sinusoidal wave.

### **2. Experimental methodology and data analysis of Induced EMF at coils**

Several experiments were realized in special transformers built in planar coils versus ring coils, to found interesting results about resonance. In all cases, an excitation of square and sinusoidal alternating current were put as entry in primary transformers directly of the wave generator output, to verify the response at secondary coils of the transformers. The analysis of the results shown phenomena at resonance which are analysed here, showing high gains not expected in circuit theory.

### **2.1 Experimental methodology**

In present work were utilized some coils to prepare the transformers where the experiments were realized. These coils are built in copper wire with diameter *d =* 2.02 x 10-4 m (32 AWG) or *d* = 1.80 x 10-4 m (36 AWG). Were built several planar coils with diameter of *D* = 4.01 x 10-2 m, with turn numbers of 20, 50, 200, 500 and 1600, and the ring coils with diameter of *D* = 4.65 x 10-2 m, with turn numbers of 2, 5, 7, 9, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30 and 50. All coils were built so that their height are *h* = 1.8 x 10-4 m (case of 20 and 50 turns) and *h* = 5 x 10-4 m. In this way, the transformers present a planar coil inner ring coil, always based on crossing of the described coils, where this configuration is shown in Fig. 1.

Fig. 2. Equivalent circuit to analysis of the system.

Inductances and mutual inductances of the coils (Hurley and Duffy, 1997; Su, Liu and Hui, 2009) are calculated using procedure presented in (Babic and Akyel, 2000; Babic et al., 2002; Babic and Akyel, 2006; Babic and Akyel, 2008), where some of obtained magnitudes of self inductances are shown in Table 1 as follows:

The experimental data obtained with this configuration, *a priori*, were sufficient to determine several effects not common in literature, especially in relation to resonance described as the sum of system responses (when the input is a square waveform), as the high gain that contradicts theory of ideal transformers (in both waveform excitations).

### **2.1.1 Data analysis for excitation with square wave on direct system**

When the primary of the transformer was excited with square wave, the response of the system presented as a second order system, presenting a sinusoidal response with exponential dumping (Costa, 2009d). In this case, considering excitation of the planar coil (as the primary of the transformer), response at secondary is seen in the oscilloscope in time division of 100 s/div we observe that the system response is verified in accordance with Faraday's law *emf* = -*d/dt*.

However, when inceasing time division of the oscilloscope for 500 ns/div, in this specific case of the system which generates the response seen in Fig. 3(a), the effects of parasitic capacitances may be observed as attenuated sine wave, as shown in Fig. 3(b). In this case we observe a double sinusoidal (modulated response) with exponential drop. This case is formally observed as effect of the values of the system transfer function, that can be observed only 15 < *np/nr <25*, being *np* is the turn number planar coil and *nr* is the turn number ring coil (Costa, 2009; Costa, 2009a).

Fig. 3. (a) Oscilloscope image of input (upper) and output (lower) of the analyzed system with time division 100 s/div, (b) System response with increasing oscilloscope time division.

When we observe the system responses in other configurations, is observed that the increase of turns in planar coil reduces the lower frequency (that modulates the higher frequency or the main response shown in Fig. 3(b)), as we can see in Fig. 4.

In Fig. 4, we observe that the system response follows equally the rise and the fall of the square wave. Because these effects, when increasing the frequency of square wave applied on primary of the system, we observe that the total system response is presented as the sum of these responses separately. Clearly, the accumulated energy on system (in inductances and parasitic capacitances) is added with the new response when the excitation rises or falls. It is shown in Fig. 5(a), as simulation for 3 attenuated sine wave responses, and at Fig. 5(b) is shown the same effect based on experimental results.

In the case of Fig. 6, we observe that the results have a DC component in response for each rise and fall of the square wave, which is observed in Fig. 7. Consequently this sum of responses is presented as:

$$w\_o = \sum\_{p=0}^{n} (-1)^p \left( a \sin \left( o(t-p) \right) \right) \exp(-b(t-p)) + a \right) \tag{1}$$

Due to the sum of responses, we find that when the responses is in phase with the square wave, i.e., the relation *fr = fs/n*, we find a maximum value in output, which refers to the sum of the sine waves in phase and their DC components. In this relation, *fr* is the frequency of the main sine wave of the response in each rise and fall of the square wave, *fs* the frequency of the square wave and *n* an integer. Thus, this sum refers to sum of total accumulated energy on coils. However, the resonance only occurs in specific frequencies, when the output is a perfect sine wave. In this case, we can see that effect of resonance is verified when the maximum energy peak is found. This occur in the frequency *fr = fs*, which may have values of voltage greater than peak to peak input voltage of the square wave, although the turn ratio of the transformer is lower than 1.

This result may be observed in Fig. 5(a), when the responses are added sequentially, i.e., when *t* , with *fr = fs*. In this case, the maximum value of the peak to peak voltage on output is

$$V\_{pp\_{\text{max}}} = 2\sum\_{i=0}^{k} \left( a \exp\left( -b\left(\frac{T(4i+1)}{4}\right) \right) + (-1)^i a \right) \tag{2}$$

where *k* is the number of cycles of the attenuated sine wave as system response to an input step voltage and *T* is the period of this sine wave (oscillatory response). Based on this example, we note in all experiments that the found problem due to induced EMF at resonance is that the output is the sum of the responses in each rise and fall of the square wave step voltage. Consequently, it is a result obtained that explains the high voltage of Tesla transformer. These results are shown in Fig. 6, for some configurations of the analyzed system.

In Fig. 6, the obtained data for these configurations are shown in Table 2.

In accordance with these data, we observe that the system response excited with square wave does not follow the common gain of the circuit theory, defined as turn ratio. In other words, in usual circuit theory, the turn ratio determines voltage reduction, but in resonance when is applied square wave as input signal, the response is sinusoidal presenting a visible inversion (high gain defining increased voltage). Thus, for the same data shown in Table 2, data in Table 3 shows the gain of the system in resonance and the expected output value in accordance to circuit theory.

Due to the sum of responses, we find that when the responses is in phase with the square wave, i.e., the relation *fr = fs/n*, we find a maximum value in output, which refers to the sum of the sine waves in phase and their DC components. In this relation, *fr* is the frequency of the main sine wave of the response in each rise and fall of the square wave, *fs* the frequency of the square wave and *n* an integer. Thus, this sum refers to sum of total accumulated energy on coils. However, the resonance only occurs in specific frequencies, when the output is a perfect sine wave. In this case, we can see that effect of resonance is verified when the maximum energy peak is found.

In accordance with these data, we observe that the system response excited with square wave does not follow the common gain of the circuit theory, defined as turn ratio.

These effects are clearly visible when using Equations (1) and (2), which show why the system at resonance can get high energy.

The same effect is observed for the inverted system, i.e., when ring coil is the primary of the transformer and the planar coil is the secondary. This case is presented in the next section.

### **2.1.2 Data analysis for excitation with square wave with inverted system**

Considering the inversion of the system, i.e., ring coil as primary and planar coil as secondary, the response appears similarly to initial configuration. But due to the inversion of the values (parasitic capacitances, self inductances and resistances in the equivalent system shown in Fig. 2, and consequently changes in value of mutual inductance (Babic and Akyel, 2000; Babic et al., 2002; Babic and Akyel, 2006; Babic and Akyel, 2008) changes in transfer function are made, such that the output presents features similar to the cases where *np/nr* >25. In these cases, the inversion of the values in transfer function also generates a lower frequency on oscillatory response. Consequently, the system response presents resonance in lower frequencies than the initial configuration, as we see in (Costa, 2009d).

Observing Fig. 7, we see the system responses for some configurations when the input signal is a low frequency square wave (similarly to input step voltage). In this figure, we clearly observe that the frequencies are lower than frequencies of system response in initial configuration. Also, we observe that the input square wave is presented with effects of *RL*  circuit, due to passive probe of oscilloscope be in parallel to primary coil (Babic and Akyel, 2000; Babic et al., 2002; Babic and Akyel, 2006; Babic and Akyel, 2008).

When the frequency is increased, the same effect of sum of responses to each rise and fall of the square wave defined in Equation (1) is observed, as shown in Fig. 8. In the same way, when the relation *fr = fs/n* is verified, the output voltage reaches the maximum value, although this response is not a perfect sine wave.

However, in accordance to Equations (1) and (2), when the relation *fr = fs* is verified, the resonance occurs, and the output reaches the maximum value with a perfect sine wave. Since that the frequencies of the responses are lower, the resonance occurs in low frequencies of the square wave, in comparison with the initial configuration. Some results of this case are shown in Fig. 9.

We observe in this case, that the output voltage (*vpp*) is greater than the initial configuration. Clearly, this effect is observed because two components are considered: the turn ratio (effect of the transformer, as circuit theory) and the sum of the sinusoidal responses as (1). Consequently, the resonance output voltage is greater than the effect of the transformer alone.

For configurations shown in Fig. 7, 8 and 9, the maximum values of the output voltage are shown in Table 4, with their respective turn ratio and resonance frequency.

However, although in this case occurs an effect of the turn ratio (transformer), in accordance to results shown in Table 4, this effect defines that this is not always right, as in the case of the configurations of 2 turns ring coil *vs* 1600 turns planar coil, 2 turns ring coil *vs* 50 turns planar coil, 5 turns ring coil *vs* 500 turns planar coil and others with turn ratio greater than 100. It is due to impedance of the circuit, which eliminates various sinusoidal components of the input square wave, reducing total value on output.

In the realized measurements with all coils in the initial configuration and inverted system, we can see the behavior of the output voltage when varying turn number of the coils (ring and planar) in Fig. 10, for input square wave of 5 V peak to peak. With this Fig. 10 we can generate a direct comparison for both cases worked, verifying the gain.

These effects are clearly visible when using Equations (1) and (2), which show why the

The same effect is observed for the inverted system, i.e., when ring coil is the primary of the transformer and the planar coil is the secondary. This case is presented in the next section.

Considering the inversion of the system, i.e., ring coil as primary and planar coil as secondary, the response appears similarly to initial configuration. But due to the inversion of the values (parasitic capacitances, self inductances and resistances in the equivalent system shown in Fig. 2, and consequently changes in value of mutual inductance (Babic and Akyel, 2000; Babic et al., 2002; Babic and Akyel, 2006; Babic and Akyel, 2008) changes in transfer function are made, such that the output presents features similar to the cases where *np/nr* >25. In these cases, the inversion of the values in transfer function also generates a lower frequency on oscillatory response. Consequently, the system response presents resonance in lower frequencies than the

Observing Fig. 7, we see the system responses for some configurations when the input signal is a low frequency square wave (similarly to input step voltage). In this figure, we clearly observe that the frequencies are lower than frequencies of system response in initial configuration. Also, we observe that the input square wave is presented with effects of *RL*  circuit, due to passive probe of oscilloscope be in parallel to primary coil (Babic and Akyel,

When the frequency is increased, the same effect of sum of responses to each rise and fall of the square wave defined in Equation (1) is observed, as shown in Fig. 8. In the same way, when the relation *fr = fs/n* is verified, the output voltage reaches the maximum value,

However, in accordance to Equations (1) and (2), when the relation *fr = fs* is verified, the resonance occurs, and the output reaches the maximum value with a perfect sine wave. Since that the frequencies of the responses are lower, the resonance occurs in low frequencies of the square wave, in comparison with the initial configuration. Some results of

We observe in this case, that the output voltage (*vpp*) is greater than the initial configuration. Clearly, this effect is observed because two components are considered: the turn ratio (effect of the transformer, as circuit theory) and the sum of the sinusoidal responses as (1). Consequently, the resonance output voltage is greater than the effect of the transformer alone. For configurations shown in Fig. 7, 8 and 9, the maximum values of the output voltage are

However, although in this case occurs an effect of the turn ratio (transformer), in accordance to results shown in Table 4, this effect defines that this is not always right, as in the case of the configurations of 2 turns ring coil *vs* 1600 turns planar coil, 2 turns ring coil *vs* 50 turns planar coil, 5 turns ring coil *vs* 500 turns planar coil and others with turn ratio greater than 100. It is due to impedance of the circuit, which eliminates various sinusoidal components of

In the realized measurements with all coils in the initial configuration and inverted system, we can see the behavior of the output voltage when varying turn number of the coils (ring and planar) in Fig. 10, for input square wave of 5 V peak to peak. With this Fig. 10 we can

In case of the initial configuration (direct system), the gain obtained is increased follows in accordance to turn numbers of the both coils. In the case of the inverted system, the gain is decreasing to turn number ring coil, and reaches the maximum peak voltage in configurations defined as low turn number in ring coil and high turn number in planar coil (in the obtained experimental results this value is 5 turn number ring coil). The obtained values for turn number in ring coil lower than 5 is decreasing, when it is crossed with turn number higher than 200 in planar coils. Naturally, this effect is verified as being the variation of the values of parasitic capacitances, self-inductances and mutual inductance (Babic and Akyel, 2000; Babic et al., 2002; Babic and Akyel, 2006; Babic and Akyel, 2008), since that these planar coils are built in more than one layer in the same disk

When analysing the response of the system when excitation is a sinusoidal waveform, the result presented is a sinusoidal wave with phase variation.

Considering direct system, the response at low frequencies (from 1 kHz to 20 ~ 50 kHz) are generally noise, as shown in Fig. 11.

Also, other effect observed in inverted system is the output peak voltage for low turn number in ring coil. When the turn number in planar coil is increased, considering 5 turn number in ring coil, the graph seen in Fig. 10(b) increases quickly, showing a better relationship to maximum response in resonance.

Analysing the problem of these frequencies, we can see that the response of the system is:

$$w\_o = A \left( \alpha \right) \sin \left( \alpha t + \phi \left( \alpha \right) \right) \tag{3}$$

where *A*() is the amplitude and () is the phase, which both depends upon frequency. Amplitude varies with inductances, mutual inductances, resistances and parasitic capacitances of the system, presenting similar graph as system excited with square wave, but with fewer resonance peaks, as view in Fig. 13, which compares output of the system in some cases excited by sine waves and square waves. The number of resonance peaks in output of the system when escited by square waves is due to components of the Fourier series that passes at filter, generating several resonance peaks with increased amplitudes, as frequency increases,which similarly we find in (Cheng, 2006, Huang et al, 2007) analysis of problems involving harmonic analysis.

In the case of sine wave excitation, resonance responses are found as higher output as excitation with square waves.

Clearly, the results for sine wave excitation is higher than square wave excitation, due to square wave can be seen as Fourier series, where the response have several low frequencies components eliminated. Consequently, the result of the sum is lower than the resonance response of the system, when excited by a sine wave.

proposed. This work was based on experimental results about air core special transformer, excited by square waves and sine waves in frequencies ranging from 1 kHz to 25 MHz. These transformers were built with planar coils inner ring coils, where initially planar coil was used as primary to verify the induced *emf* response in ring coil and, a posteriori, we invert primary and secondary, exciting ring coil with the square wave, to verify output on planar coil.

In the analysis of the results of the system when excited by a square wave, were observed that the response of the system shows existence of parasitic capacitances, and the response to low frequencies are similar to response of step voltage excitation. But, with the increasing frequency, the responses in each rise and fall of the square wave are added, generating low voltages when this sum of responses are not in phase, and high voltage when the responses are in phase with the square wave, i.e., when is satisfied the relationship *fr = fs/n* (*fr* sinusoidal frequency of the response, *fs* square wave frequency and *n* number of cycles of the sinusoidal frequency of the response on semi cycle of the square wave), where this is because energy accumulation in each cycle by the coils in transformer. The higher voltage on output is obtained when the relation *fr = fs* is verified (or *n* = 1). In this case, the maximum values of voltages on output are sinusoidal, showing a resonant response of the system. In both cases (diretc system and inverted system), the response reaches values greater than input, although the turn ratio between coils does not meet the requirements of the circuit theory. So, we observe in results of the inverted system that, when the turn number of planar coil increases too, effects of inductances, parasitic capacitances and resistances generates an active filter on input, which reduces the output voltage. Finally, we see that the better transfer energy observed is obtained to inverted system when turn number ring coil is about 5, and turn number planar coil is great, shown as peak voltage in Fig. 10(b).

When considering sine wave excitation, we note that the system, both direct and inverted sistems, presents higher gain than square wave excitation, that is with average 1.5 times. It is due to amplitude of the sine wave components of the square wave (considering Fourier series), that are lower than peak of the sine wave excitation. The system acts as an filter that eliminates some sine wave components of the square wave, and the response is almost always lower than effect of direct sine wave excitation. Due to results, possibilities of cascaded systems excited by sine wave can generate high resonance voltages, which is shown as new perspectives of application of the high alternating voltages, and others researches with these special transformers, as well induced EMF.

Thus, in both cases, important results are shown, that may be used in researches of electromagnetic interference, computational systems, power electronics, pulse transformers and others excited by square waves and sine waves.
