interstage transformers

(1/1)

KB8OYR:
The ARRL Handbook cites many examples of broadband transformers to transfer power from one stage to the succeeding one.  It is stressed that the primary winding must present 4 times the inductive reactance of the preceding stage.  But my question is:  must the secondary winding also present 4 times the inductive reactance of the base impedance of the following stage or the ACTUAL inductive reactance of the base impedance of the following stage?

KB8OYR:
By now I'm embarrassed that I've enquired and I'm sorry for your time collectively.  Like I learned back in Sunday School.   "You're welcome as long as you don't ask questions, young man."

W7TFO:
Indeed, you are always welcome here, questions or not 8). 

What you have asked is beyond the scope of most of us here, hence no replies :-X.

First off, one needs to clarify at what frequency your transformer is operating at; AF or RF.

There are some very highly versed technical minds on another forum, www.amfone.net.

I'd take my question there and be ready for an onslaught of diatribe :o.
