High-performance zig-zag and meander inductors embedded in ferrite material
This paper describes the design, modeling, simulation and fabrication of zig-zag and meander inductors embedded in
low- or high-permeability soft ferrite material. These microinductors have been developed with ceramic coprocessing
technology. We compare the electrical properties of zig-zag and meander inductors structures installed as surfacemount
devices. The equivalent model of the new structures is presented, suitable for design, circuit simulations and for
prediction of the performance of proposed inductors. The relatively high impedance values allow these microinductors
to be used in high-frequency suppressors. The components were tested in the frequency range of 1 MHz–3GHz using an
Agilent 4287A RF LCR meter. The measurements confirm the validity of the analytical model.
