Simulation and Characterization of a Miniaturized Planar Coil
In November 2009 Florian Hämmerle was honored with the VDI award for his Master thesis "Simulation and Characterization of a Miniaturized Planar Coil" written at the Microtechnology Research Center of the University of Applied Sciences Vorarlberg (FHV).
In his work Florian focused on the experimental characterization and simulation of a planar coil for gaining a further miniaturized design.
For evaluating the simulation results the equivalent circuit parameters of the miniaturized planar coil were measured with OMICRON Lab's vector network analyzer Bode 100. Finaly the difference between the simulated results and the measured values was <5%.
We thank Florian for allowing us to offer a pdf of the complete thesis on our webpage.
