  • Modeling of Bobbin Coil with Ferrite Core

     

    Introduction

    This application note demonstrates modeling of bobbin coil with ferrite core in EMCoS PCB VLab environment. Dielectric and magnetic parameters of Fair-Rite 77 MnZn based material were used for modeling of bobbin ferrite core. Frequency range is from 10 kHz up to 100 MHz. Calculated input impedance of bobbin coil is compared to measured data obtained by HP 8752 network analyzer.
