This paper describes the design, modeling, simulation and fabrication of zig-zag and meander inductors embe

In recent yearsliterature [1–8] has studied the high-frecharacteristics of ferrite core and/or mcomponents such as ferrite inductors, bafinite element method or physical analysis.

An understanthe high-frequency parasitic and packagingcan be gained from equivalent circuit descof the inductor.
