Researchers at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign have devised a method of combining capacitors and inductors in a tiny, 3D rolled membrane. This will save space in the electronic filters ...

Inductors designed with active elements are very desirable to designers today because conventional spiral inductors are too big, too heavy, and too costly, and they require tuning. During the last few ...

Of the three basic passive components—resistors, capacitors, and inductors—inductors are the least ideal and, therefore, the most difficult to model. The importance of a good model is that it not only ...

Most modern electronic devices consist of several key components: transistors, capacitors, resistors, inductors and diodes. Often, they are supplemented by additional components like crystals and ...

With their ability to resist changes in current, inductors are one of the basic but fundamental components used in electronics where current and voltage change with time. This tutorial provides an ...

Giovanni D’Amore discusses approaches to characterising both dielectric and magnetic materials using impedance analysers and specialist fixtures. We are used to thinking about technological progress ...
