Abstract
Two stage magnetic amplifiers are extensively used in many applications, but several types have not previously been mathematically analyzed. The Hybrid III is described in detail and analyzed by the method of finite difference equations. Experimental data confirms the analysis for negligible source resistance of the power supplies, but shows that the analysis is invalid for appreciable supply source resistance. Further examination reveals the cause of the strong effect of source resistance. The Hybrid IV is described in detail and analyzed by the same method. Experimental data fails to confirm the analysis completely, but when steps are taken to eliminate diode unblocking, the gain is confirmed. The authors wish to express their appreciation for the assistance in conception and development of the analysis rendered by Mr. Raymond B. Yarbrough of the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School.
