Hello all,

when designing a class A&AB RF amplifiers (for example for the range from 3Mhz to 30Mhz) using a transformer to match the laod to the transistor output impedence, the ratio of the turns can be easly calculated, but:

Q1) how the actual number of the windings is calculated?
Q2) in case the primary of the transformer is tuned , is the number of turns remains the same for the highest Q value of the tuned circuit?
Q3) what is the prefered transformer to use? is it the balun, transmition line transformer, classic transformer...?

thanx for any help
