Transformer-Coupled Audio-Frequency Voltage Amplifiers

Interstage transformers are sometimes used with triodes. They have a voltage step-up ratio of about 3. If the assumption is made that negligible voltage drop occurs inside the tube, the voltage gain per stage is

where μ, is the amplification factor of the tube and n is the step-up ratio of the transformer.
