Abstract
An approach that minimizes ground plane effects affecting planar inductors is disclosed. A magnetic disk is inserted between an inductor and a ground plane to isolate the magnetic field of the inductor and preserve its magnetic characteristics. The present invention isolates the inductor from the ground plane to maintain or improve inductor electrical performance. The magnetic material serves to increase the inductance to its original value (prior to adding the ground plane) with only a slight degradation in Q due to an increase in AC resistance. This approach permits development of higher current, higher power printed networks, components and circuits whose circuit designs have decreased volume, weight, and cost.
