SYNOPSIS

PARAMETERS

INPUT PARAMETERS

• L : Desired inductance (Henries)
• 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 : indicates which parameters should be optimized
  • flag=0 : the minimum number of turns is calculated along with the corresponding required length/fill. The diameter is held constant.
  • flag=1 : the number of turns is fixed at the value given and the required length/fill is calculated. The diameter is held constant.

OUTPUT VALUES

• N_out : calculated required number of turns
• len_out : calculated required length (meters)
• fill_out : calculated required fill

DESCRIPTION

Function to synthesize the physical parameters of a single layer, uniformly spaced, air core, solenoid inductor. The physical dimensions of the coil are synthesized from an inductance specification.

EXAMPLE

*
* Air coil synthesis, flag == 0 (minimize # of turns)
*
air_coil_syn 100e-9 6 0.0127 1.2 22 1.72e-8 0.00635 100e6 0

*
* Air coil synthesis, flag == 1 (fixed # of turns)
*
air_coil_syn 100e-9 6 0.0127 1.2 22 1.72e-8 0.00635 100e6 1
