Field-containing inductors are required in certain simulator applications e.g., elements of pulse shaping networks, terminators for transmission lines etc. Typical coils such as solenoids have a large magnetic dipole moment resulting in excessive interfering magnetic fields. An improved design based on the traditional toroidal coil windings is presented. This new design consisting of two windings is capable of higher voltage operation. Optimal shapes, energy and forces exerted are also discussed. The normalized plots of attainable inductance for varying geometrical parameters presented in this note should prove useful in future designs and applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
