Active Negative Inductor Based on Magnetic Flux
نویسنده
چکیده
An active circuit is described that exhibits the equivalent reactance of a negative inductor. In contrast with previous techniques based on negative impedance converters, the negative inductance is produced by generating an opposing time-varying magnetic flux. The new circuit also enables the inductance to be electronically varied between negative and positive values, can enhance the Q, and defaults to a conventional positive inductor in the event of active component failure. The performance of a prototype with an inductance of −0.344mH and operating over the frequency range 1–40 kHz is described.

متن کاملA Novel Method for High Current Vacuum Arc Interruption Using Externally Applied Ultra High Axial Pulsed Magnetic Field
Axial Magnetic Field (AMF) is widely used in vacuum interrupters to keep the arc in the diffused mode. With increasing axial magnetic field, the multiple arc mode extends to higher arc currents. In this mode of arc, the fault current can be easily interrupted due to fast recovery of the diffused vacuum arc. The magnetic field amplitudes considered in the preceding studies are all less than hund...

There is few report of applying on-chip inductor to high-speed digital circuit, while it is useful passive element for RF circuit design. The on-chip inductor helps the digital circuit operate faster and can reduce the power consumption, because the inductance can cancel the capacitive load of the active device. In this manuscript, we present two conspicuous cases where on-chip inductor has bee...
