| Summary: | This paper is aimed at presenting the models and characteristics of two types of inductors designed in LTCC (Low Temperature Cofired Ceramic) technology. We present the physical model of a 3D planar solenoid-type inductor and of a serial planar solenoid-type inductor for the RF (radio frequency) range. To verify the results obtained by using these models, we have compared them with the results obtained by employing the Ansoft HFSS electromagnetic simulator. Very good agreement has been recorded for the effective inductance value, whereas the effective Q factor value has shown a somewhat larger deviation than the inductance. |
