Abstract
An inductor structure includes an even number of segments, each segment adjacent to two segments, each segment including a loop, each loop having a first end and a second end; and a crossover section adjacent to each segment, the crossover section coupling each of the first ends and second ends of the loops so as to cause current to circulate around the loop of each segment in an opposite rotational direction to the direction of current circulation in the loops of the segments adjacent to that segment.
Claims20
An inductor structure comprising:
- an even number of segments, each segment adjacent to two other segments, each segment including a loop, each loop having a first end and a second end;
- wherein each of the first ends and second ends of the loops are coupled together so as to cause current to circulate around the loop of each segment in an opposite rotational direction to the direction of current circulation in the loops of the segments adjacent to that segment, and
- at least one feed line connector arranged to connect the inductor structure to a feed line, the at least one feed line connector being located at a region where the first and second ends of the loops are coupled together.
