air_coil_calc - Single layer air core solenoid inductor analysis
SYNOPSIS
air_coil_calc N len fill AWG rho dia freq flag PARAMETERS
INPUT PARAMETERS
- N
: Number of turns
- len
: length of the coil (meters)
- fill
: ratio of coil length to closewound length
- AWG
: wire size (American Wire Gauge)
- rho
: resistivity of wire (ohm-m)
- dia
: inside diameter of coil (meters)
- freq
: analysis frequency (Hertz)
- flag
: used to calculate coil length.
- flag=0 : the length given by len is used.
- flag=1 : the length is calculated from the wire size,
number of turns and fill input.
OUTPUT VALUES
- L
: calculated inductance (Henries)
- Q
: calculated quality factor
- SRF
: calculated self resonant frequency (Hertz)
- len_out
: length used for the analysis (meters)
- fill_out
: fill used for the analysis
- lmax
: maximum (closewound) inductance
DESCRIPTION
Function to analyze the electrical characteristics of a single layer,
uniformly spaced, air core, solenoid inductor. The physical
dimensions of the coil are given as inputs and the inductance, quality
factor, and self resonant frequency are calculated.
