Abstract
There is provided a transformer for varying an inductance value, which adjusts a tuning range of the inductance without decrease of the inductor's capability by selectively connecting switches to inductors and controls an amount of magnetic flux. And the transformer consists of multiple inductors formed on a semiconductor substrate, which including N number of metal lines, N number of ports made by twisting the metal lines in the form of a symmetric circuit, wherein a certain number of ports among the N number of ports, which are connected to switch elements.
