Calculation and measurement of power dissipation and energy storage in a high frequency planar transformer

Computer aided methods are developed to evaluate power dissipation and energy storage in a high frequency planar power transformer subject to nonsinusoidal excitation. Sinusoidal test methods are devised to model these parameters and investigate the effects of stray field components.<<ETX>>
