In this paper, the method of designing an active inductor for MMIC is proposed. The proposed tunable active inductor is composed of a cascade FET with feedback capacitors and resistors. Because of a very low series resistance in the proposed inductor, a very high Q factor can be obtained. Also it has an excellent characteristics suitable for high frequency band. The inductance value can be changed by controlling feedback capacitors, resistors and a bias voltage respectively. When the feedback resistor and parallel resistor within circuits are varied, the inductance value is changed from 0.2 nH to 1.7 nH in the range 1 to 15 GHz. Also we designed bandpass filter using the proposed active inductor and it shows the insertion loss of 0.4 dB and return loss, 20 dB.

This paper describes the time sharing type high frequency resonant inviter can be used as power of induction heating. This closed inverter can be obtained output frequency three times than switching frequency by composing three unit inviter of conventional Half-Bridge serial resonant inverter in parallel with input power source also, this reduce switching loss because it has ZVS function. The analysis of the proposed circuit is generally described by using the normailized proposed parameters. The principle of basic operating and the its charasteristics are extimated by the parameters such as switching frequency($\mu$), the variation of Phase angle($\phi$) of Phase-shift. Experimental results are presented to verify theoretical discussion. This preposed inverter will be able to be prastically used as a power supply in various fields as induction, heating application, DC-DC converter etc.
