Abstract :
The design and characterization of a new toroidal planar transformer integrated in a PCB is presented in this study. The prototype consists of two sheets of fiberglass between which a toroidal ferrite core is inserted. The prototype is tested through experimental measurements taken from the linear to the saturation regions and have found that the PCB transformer can operate up to approximately 20 MHz without showing capacitive effects.
