Abstract :
This paper presents the results of an investigation on multilayer planar inductors (printed inductors). A multilayer inductor design is described resulting in a high value of inductance at small dimensions. Consideration of manufacturing and reproduction tolerances is made. Finally measurement results on typical parameters describing a printed inductor are given. These results may be directly used for RF circuit simulation or for the design of PCB layouts
