Now I understand the measurement.
I have checked the rms voltages produced by a conventional coil and by a
6th-order magnifier. You are right. The rms voltage produced by a
conventional coil is higher. Ideally, it is always 50% of the peak
output voltage, for all modes. In a magnifier, it is around 43%
of the peak value, with the best value obtained for mode 1:2:3,
43.75%, tending to 43.30 % for higher modes k:k+1:k+2. This is a
consequence of the "second-order" notches. For modes k:k+1:m>>k,
C2 tends to zero, and the system tends to a conventional two-
coils system, with the rms value returning to 50% of the peak
voltage.
I have implemented the exact calculation in my mrn6 program.
