Inductor

Model inductor for circuit envelope analysis

• Library:

• RF Blockset / Circuit Envelope / Elements

Description

The Inductor block models an inductor in circuit envelope environment.

Parameters

Inductance — Inductance value

1e-9 H (default) | real number

Inductance value, specified as a real number. Specify the units of the capacitance from the corresponding drop-down menu.

If you set this parameter to a value between 0 and 1e-18 H, the block uses a value equal to 1e-18 H during simulation. By default, the value is 1e-9 H.

Model Examples

Analysis of Frequency Response of RF System

Uses a few techniques to calculate the steady-state frequency response for a filter-based RF system built from RF Blockset™ Circuit Envelope library blocks. The first technique performs static analysis (harmonic balance) on a circuit comprising of inductors and capacitors. The second technique does time domain simulation using a similar circuit built with the Filter library block. The third technique facilitates small-signal analysis to obtain the frequency response of a filtering system that exhibits nonlinearity at a given operation point. This example helps you validate a circuit envelope model using a static analysis in the frequency domain, a time domain simulation, and small signal analysis in cases where the system exhibits non-linearity.

Frequency Response of an RF Transmit/Receive Duplex Filter

Use blocks from the RF Blockset™ Circuit Envelope library to simulate a transmit/receive duplex filter and calculate frequency response curves from a broadband white-noise input. Blocks from the DSP System Toolbox™ libraries generate the input signal, process the output signal, and display the results.
