Abstract:Purpose
This paper aims to present an efficient method to improve quality factor of printed fractal inductors based on electromagnetic band-gap (EBG) surface.
Design/methodology/approach
Hilbert fractal inductor is designed and simulated using high-frequency structural simulator. To improve the quality factor, an EBG surface underneath the inductor is incorporated without any degradation in inductance value.
Findings
The proposed inductor and Q factor are measured based on well-known three-dimensional simu… Show more
