Monolithic transformer compensated circuit

A method of designing a monolithic transformer compensated circuit, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing a source of ac voltage to apply an ac voltage to a primary winding of a monolithic transformer;
• providing a source of ac current to apply an ac current to a secondary winding of the monolithic transformer;
• and
• selecting the ac current to be proportional to the ac voltage in the primary winding, within an error factor γ≈1, where an error factor γ=1 represents perfect loss compensation, and in phase with the ac voltage in the primary winding, to achieve loss compensation in the primary winding with a controllable Q that is dependent on the error factor γ.

A monolithic transformer compensated circuit, comprising:

• a monolithic transformer having a primary winding and a secondary winding;
• a source of voltage connected to apply an ac voltage to the primary winding of the monolithic transformer;
• a current source connected to drive ac current into the secondary winding of the monolithic transformer;
• the current source being configured to drive an ac current into the secondary winding that is proportional to the ac voltage in the primary winding and that has a phase relationship with the ac voltage in the primary winding to achieve loss compensation in the primary winding;
• and
• a circuit stabilizing element connected to the monolithic transformer.
