IF transformer coupling factor...

Apr 25, 2005 2 Replies

Hi,



I would like to know why coupling factor for IF transformer affects the centre frequency. I hv a circuit in PSpice with two IF transformers... and when I reduce the coupling factor I get the required centre frequency which is 455KHz...



for both IF transformers



The inductor values are



L1 = 680uH L2 = 97uH



and original coupling factor is 0.9



but after simulations the centre frequency obtained is 451KHz



when the coupling factor is reduced to 0.75 I get the required centre frequency....



anyone with an answer...

Just going to point out that the overcoupled response curve is double-humped (two amplitude peaks).

Hello Charles,

Does that make it a "Camel Filter"?
