Green energy applications such as hybrid vehicles, wind energy, and solar energy stand to reap big benefits from regulated electronic power conversion common to switch-mode power supplies (SMPS).

Air core inductors exhibit high Q, maintain a constant inductance value regardless of current, and can be tuned to specific inductance values by manipulating the distance between coil windings. They ...
