A grounded inductor is proposed which contains only one resistor and operational amplifier. The circuit uses the inherent frequency dependent characteristic of an amplifier to simulate the inductor. A parallel resonance circuit is constructed with the proposed circuit. It has been proved by the experimental results of the resonant circuit that the proposed circuit is equivalent to the grounded lossy inductor. The lossy inductor is imbedded in a passive bandstop prototype, and the resultant characteristic curve has been verified by the experiment.

A simulated floating inductor using two fully-differential OTA's and a capacitor is presented. The theory of operation is described and experimental results are used to verify theoretical predictions. The results show close agreement between predicted behavior and experimental performance. The proposed floating inductor has about two times higher Q factor than conventional designs. The application of the inductor to a ladder type third order ellitic low pass filer is also presented.

A Differential line inductor is proposed for a differential power amplifier. The proposed differential line inductor is composed of two conventional line inductors rearranged to make the current direction of the two line inductors identical. The proposed line inductor is simulated with a 2.5-D and a 3-D EM simulator to verify its feasibility with the substrate information in a 0.18-${\mu}m$ RF CMOS process. The inductances of various line inductors implemented with printed circuit boards were measured. The feasibility of the proposed line inductor was successfully demonstrated.

Induction heating is a process that is accompanied with magnetic and thermal situation. This paper presents a simulation of a magneto-thermal coupled problem of an induction heating process for moving inductor coil. In the magnetic and thermal analyses, temperature-dependent magnetic and thermal material properties were considered. As the inductor coil moves in the process, solution domains corresponding to inductor changes into those of the air, and the solution domains of air change into those of the inductor. For these reasons, modeling of induction heating process is very difficult with general purpose commercial programs. In this paper, induction heating process for moving coil was simulated with the concept of traveling the position of the heating planes. Finite element program was developed and finite element results were compared with the experimental results.

A class-E RF(Radio Frequency) power amplifier for wireless application is designed using standard CMOS technology. To drive the class-E power amplifier, a class-F RF power amplifier is used and the reliability characteristics are studied with a class-E load network. The reliability characteristic is improved when a finite-DC feed inductor is used instead of an RF choke with the load. After one year of operating, when the load is an RF choke the output current and voltage of the power amplifier decrease about 17% compared to initial values. But when the load is a finite DC-feed inductor the output current and voltage decrease 9.7%. The S-parameter such as input reflection coefficient(S11) and the forward transmission scattering parameter(S21) is simulated with the stress time. In a finite DC-feed inductor the characteristics of S-parameter are changed slightly compared to an RF-choke inductor. From the simulation results, the class-E power amplifier with a finite DC-feed inductor shows superior reliability characteristics compared to power amplifier using an RF choke.

A class-E power amplifier is designed using 0.25$\mu$m standard CNMOS technology at 900MHz and the reliability characteristics are studied with the load network. The reliability characteristics is improved when a finite DC-feed inductor is used instead of RF choke. At the one you halt, the PAE(Power Added Efficiency) decreases from 58.0$\%$ to 35.7$\%$ and output power decreases from 120mW to 74mW in power amplifier using RF choke. However, when a finite DC-feed inductor is used with load the PAE decreases from 58.5$\%$ to 54.8$\%$ and output power decreases from 121mW to 112mW. From the simulated results, the class-E power amplifier with a finite DC-feed inductor shows superior reliability characteristics compared to rower amplifier using RF choke inductor.

폐 자기회로 구조를 갖는 Meander 형태의 Inductor 설계를 위해 HFSS 프로그램을 이용하여 Meander Inductor를 시뮬레이션 하였다. Meander Inductor의 turn 수(N) 및 폭(W), 두께(T), 랩(G)의 변화에 따른 인덕턴스(L), S-parameter(S)와 Q-factor(Q)의 변화를 HFSS 를 통해 측정하였다. Al2O3 기판과 MgO의 두께는 각각 680um, 50um로 고정하였고, silver electrode를 이용하여 Meander 타입의 Inductor를 설계하였다. Meander Inductor의 turn수(6,7,8turn)의 변화를 측정한 결과, 8턴이었을 때 Q-factor가 19로서 가장 높은 결과를 얻었다. L의 결과 값은 공진 주파수와 의 관계에 의해 6turn일 때 L값은 17GHz에서 공진현상이 나타났다. 또한 W, G, T에 변화를 주어 설계한 뒤 시뮬레이션의 결과 값을 측정하였다. 그 값을 서로 비교한 결과, 변수들의 변화에 따라 L값과 Q-factor가 변화되었다. 이 논문에서는 각 변수에 따른 meander inductor의 특성을 HFSS 시뮬레이션을 통해 비교하고자 한다.

To design a spiral inductor a genetic algorithm is applied with fast computing technique. For the inductance extraction of the given geometry the fast multipole method is used, also the distributed computing technique using 10 personal computers is introduced for the massive computation of the genetic algorithm. A few important design parameters are used as genes for the optimization in the genetic algorithm. The target function is chosen as mean square error of the inductance at several sampling frequency points. A large-scaled inductor is fabricated and compared with the simulated data.
