Book description
If you are looking for a complete study of the fundamental concepts in
magnetic theory, read this book. No other textbook covers magnetic
components of inductors and transformers for high-frequency applications
in detail.
This unique text examines design techniques of the major types of
inductors and transformers used for a wide variety of high-frequency
applications including switching-mode power supplies (SMPS) and
resonant circuits. It describes skin effect and proximity effect in
detail to provide you with a sound understanding of high-frequency
phenomena. As well as this, you will discover thorough coverage on:
- integrated inductors and the self-capacitance of inductors and
transformers, with expressions for self-capacitances in magnetic components;
- criteria for selecting the core material, as well as core shape
and size, and an evaluation of soft ferromagnetic materials used
for magnetic cores;
- winding resistance at high frequencies;
- expressions for winding and core power losses when
non-sinusoidal inductor or transformer current waveforms contain harmonics.
Case studies, practical design examples and procedures (using the
area product method and the geometry coefficient
method) are expertly combined with concept-orientated explanations
and student-friendly analysis. Supplied at the end of each chapter are
summaries of the key concepts, review questions, and problems, the
answers to which are available in a separate solutions manual.
Such features make this a fantastic textbook for graduates, senior
level undergraduates and professors in the area of power electronics
in addition to electrical and computer engineering. This is also an
inimitable reference guide for design engineers of power electronics
circuits, high-frequency transformers and inductors in areas such as
(SMPS) and RF power amplifiers and circuits.
