Abstract:
In this paper we present a special measurement setup to characterize the saturation behavior of inductive components. The inductance versus dcbias behavior on the anhysteresis of the magnetic material has been measured. This measurement procedure gives a distinct solution no matter in which material state the component has been before. The resulting curves can directly be used for the recently presented method for simulating small signal inductance versus dc-bias measurements. Furthermore the behaviors of different MnZn ferrites have been analyzed with interesting results.
