Some considerations in the design of a Venetian Blind direct converter
The structural design of a Venetian Blind direct converter will depend on the choice, for example, of: 1) Expander field, (2) Selective leakage, (3) Number of collector stages, (4) Method of cooling and (5) The general configuration and orientation. This note is intended to outline the major compromises that will result from the variation of parameters to fit a particular design. The relationships given are for a two-stage unit, but it is straightforward to extend them to multiple-stage units. (auth)
