Did Stan achieve anything with this pulsed thing I wonder . Probably because he knew how those worked when he worked as a radar guy , they need short pulses .
Its a pretty troublesome wave to cope with but Stan probably knew how . I dont however and dropping this VIC bifilar .
Stupid concept when you look at it , it has no rhythm besides when its on resonance , wich it isnt . Half looks like a smarter approach imo , a pulse transformer will show the input shape usually so makes no difference .
If you read Kinesis's post , you realise that the VIC actually worked , those * fools ... JohnBostick and Kinesis arguing with me .
A pulse transformer is a transformer that is optimised for transmitting rectangular electrical pulses (that is, pulses with fast rise and fall times and a relatively constant amplitude). Small versions called signal types are used in digital logic and telecommunications circuits, often for matching logic drivers to transmission lines. Medium-sized power versions are used in power-control circuits such as camera flash controllers. Larger power versions are used in the electrical power distribution industry to interface low-voltage control circuitry to the high-voltage gates of power semiconductors. Special high voltage pulse transformers are also used to generate high power pulses for radar, particle accelerators, or other high energy pulsed power applications.
To minimise distortion of the pulse shape, a pulse transformer needs to have low values of leakage inductance and distributed capacitance, and a high open-circuit inductance. In power-type pulse transformers, a low coupling capacitance (between the primary and secondary) is important to protect the circuitry on the primary side from high-powered transients created by the load. For the same reason, high insulation resistance and high breakdown voltage are required. A good transient response is necessary to maintain the rectangular pulse shape at the secondary, because a pulse with slow edges would create switching losses in the power semiconductors.
The product of the peak pulse voltage and the duration of the pulse (or more accurately, the voltage-time integral) is often used to characterise pulse transformers. Generally speaking, the larger this product, the larger and more expensive the transformer.
Pulse transformers by definition have a duty cycle of less than 0.5, whatever energy stored in the coil during the pulse must be "dumped" out before the pulse is fired again.
You can now see why the square wave and Duty shoulld be adjusted . Square wave for rise time and adjustable duty .

The design of “signal” type of pulse transformer focuses on the delivery of a signal at the output. The transformer delivers a “pulse-like” signal or a series of pulses. The turns ratio of the pulse transformer can be used to adjust signal amplitude and provide impedance matching between the source and load
