The project is about analysis of the transformer behaviour when operating at a high frequency such as at MHz range. This is to ensure that the design can operate well in the region. There are many issues involved in designing transformer. However, this project only focuses on minimization of the losses in the transformer. A low-power-losses transformer is designed by employing the interleaved technique. When interleaved technique was applied to the winding, the primary and secondary winding AC resistances show a reduction of 43.89 % and 46.88 % respectively. This shows an agreement where AC resistances are proportional to losses. Thus, an improved transformer design with low losses has been successfully achieved.
