Abstract
Systems and implementations for inductance tuning systems that are configured to operate in a wide range of frequencies are provided herein. The subject matter described herein can in some embodiments include an inductance tuning system including at least one inductor connected to a first terminal, the at least one inductor comprising of a plurality of inductive elements that are substantially magnetically coupled to each other, wherein spacing between the inductive elements are substantially less than diameters of the windings. At least one capacitor can be connected between one or more of the plurality of inductive elements and a second terminal.
Claims14
An electrical resonator having a tunable inductance comprising:
- at least one inductor connected between a first terminal and a second terminal, the at least one inductor comprising a plurality of inductive elements that are magnetically coupled to each other;
- and
- a plurality of variable capacitors, wherein each of the plurality of variable capacitors is discretely connected at one end to a tapped output associated with a node connecting two of the plurality of inductive elements and at a second end to the second terminal;
- and
- wherein a capacitance of each of the plurality of variable capacitors is selectively adjustable, and wherein an impedance of the at least one inductor is adjustable to have any of a plurality of desired values, wherein each of the desired values corresponds to a combination of capacitance values of the plurality of variable capacitors.
