List,

my formula for determining the linear transformel model parameters of an
NST didn't produce very accurate results. This was because I
approximated the cosine term as 1. After some thinking I found that it
was a bad idea.

I have fixed my paper with new theory and formulas. Only downside is
that now you need to know the open-circuit secondary voltage, but it's
fairly easy to measure. The new formulas produce very accurate results.

I have also written a paper about finding the resonance capacitor
value using the linear transformer model parameters instead of the
values printed on the NST.
