Resonance on Transformers Excited by Square Waves and Explanation of the High Voltage on Tesla Transformer

This paper presents an analysis about resonance on coupled systems when excited by square waves, generated through experiments using planar and ring coils. Because of the phenomenon described by its transfer function, a sum of responses appear when the square wave frequency increases, which causes a resonance response with high voltage, in several cases, greater than common turn ratio of the transformer. With parallel capacitances inserted on output, the resonance frequency reduction and change of gain is observed. Due to this efiect, explanation of how output of Tesla transformer presents high voltage which is shown and strategies to reach the maximal value on output are proposed.
