Abstract :
This paper shows that the conventional /spl Pi/-type model is not suitable for the broadband modelling of symmetrical inductors. A T-shaped model topology is introduced and a suitable extraction procedure is proposed for its parameters. The new model allows one to reproduce the measured behaviour of symmetric inductors up to twice the self-resonance frequency.
