Abstract
In many cases, power inductors are responsible for most of the power loss, volume, and cost if applied to high-frequency power electronics applications. It is desirable to optimize their design by the proper calculation of winding and core loss. It allows faster and cheaper commercial product release, which is the key to being successful in a highly competitive market. This is only possible if existing calculation techniques and technical data given by, e.g., core manufacturers, are verified and correct; otherwise, the inductor optimization process is less precise and requires several iterations to achieve good convergence. This paper addresses existing and proposes improved measurement and calculation techniques with regard to complex permeability, one of the key quantities that define inductor behavior in the frequency domain. This is done through impedance measurement and improved definition of the equivalent inductor model. Moreover, the proposed calculation techniques fulfill the need for the simple, accurate analytical methods required in commercial designs.
