Wide band audio transformer with multifilar winding
First Claim
1. A wide band audio transformer comprising:
- a common core;
a plurality of continuous magnet wires wound simultaneously as a multifilar ribbon resulting in a plurality of ribbon turns in each of several successive layers, each magnet wire making a plurality of continuous turns per layer, and each layer being separated by insulating material;
the ribbon containing two primary groups of wires, each primary group representing a half primary for a push-pull circuit, and two secondary groups of wires, the wires of each primary group are connected in series re-entry so that after the first winding of the primary group each successive primary winding alternates away therefrom, and the wires of the secondary groups are connected in parallel.

Abstract
An output transformer for use with a push-pull vacuum tube amplifier using a multifilar ribbon in which primary windings and secondary windings co-exist. The multifilar ribbon is wound continuously around a common core side-by-side to form successive layers. The primary windings are connected in series by turning the multifilar ribbon after the layers of multifilar ribbon have been wound and connecting the turned end of the multifilar ribbon to the beginning end of the multifilar ribbon. The winding scheme increases the coupling between the first half primary, the second half primary and the secondary without reducing performance at high frequencies. The secondary windings are connected in series or in parallel to obtain the proper turns ratio for the transformer. A method of interconnecting the secondary windings for different turns ratios is also provided.
