RF Chip Inductor Application Note

Laird Technologies, Inc. has published its newest application note titled “RF Chip Inductor Applications.”The application note explains how RF chip inductors are an integral part of many tuning and filtering circuits. Mainly used in the RF circuits in electronics systems, they reduce or eliminate electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise on the printed circuit board (PCB). The RF chip inductors are available small sizes with monolithic construction. This provides stable, low-loss inductance over broad frequencies in a small footprint.There are three different types of chip inductors listed in the paper: multilayer, wire wound, and thin film. These chip inductors possess RF Inductor Parameters that include: L-inductance, DCR-DC resistance, rated current, Q factor and Self-Resonant Frequency (SRF).Learn more from Laird.
