A 1.1-GHz fully integrated GaAs MESFET active inductor is presented in this paper. Both the inductance and loss resistance are tunable with the inductance independent of series loss tuning. The measured loss resistance is tunable over a 10to +15range with a corresponding change in inductance of less than 10% at 100 MHz and less than 4% for frequencies above 500 MHz. The inductance is tunable fr...

Winding inductance is an important parameter in determining the performance of electrical machines, particularly those with large inductance variation. This paper investigates the influence of winding inductance variation on the performance of a three-phase three-stack claw pole permanent magnet motor with soft magnetic composite (SMC) stator by using an improved phase variable model. The windi...

Inductance extraction has become an important issue in the design of high speed CMOS circuits. Two characteristics of on-chip inductance are discussed in this paper that can significantly simplify the extraction of on-chip inductance. The first characteristic is that the sensitivity of a signal waveform to errors in the inductance values is low, particularly the propagation delay and the rise t...

New electronically-controllable lossless grounded and floating inductance simulation circuits have been proposed employing Voltage Differencing Transconductance Amplifiers (VDTA). The proposed grounded inductance (GI) circuit employs a single VDTA and one grounded capacitor whereas the floating inductance (FI) circuit employs two VDTAs and one grounded capacitor. The workability of the new circ...

This article reviews 2 novel circuits which are floating and grounded negative inductance simulators using Current Controlled Current Differencing Amplifiers (CCCDBAs). The simulated inductance values can be controlled electronically by adjusting the bias current of the CCCDBA. Each inductance simulator comprises only 2 CCCDBAs and 1 grounded capacitor without any external resistors and any com...

A new method based on a fuzzy logic for estimating the phase inductance and resistance of switched reluctance motors (SRMs) is presented. The rotor position and the phase current of the 6/4 pole SRM are used to predict the phase inductance. The phase inductance results predicted by the fuzzy are in excellent agreement with the results of the finite element method and the fuzzy estimation of the...

This paper presents design of generalized resonant dc/dc converter with class E oscillator and a experimental result for low output Q and finite dc-feed inductance are shown. Low Q and finite dc-feed inductance is effective to minimize the circuit scale. Therefore, it is required to design the converter with any conditions, i.e., low output Q and finite dc-feed inductance. The experimental meas...

Solution: The circuit has been represented twice, by a circuit diagram and also by a network function. The unknown inductance, L, appears in the circuit diagram, but not in the given network function. We can analyze the circuit to determine its network function. This second network function will depend on the unknown inductance. We will determine the value of the inductance by equating the two ...
