This Ultra-Broadband Inductor is a passive, broadband inductor (frequency range is roughly 160 KHz – 40 GHz). Its unique Pyramid shape provides a tighter "wrap" of the copper wire around its core to provide maximum inductance in the space available. This shape also makes it easier to handle the part when hand soldering is required. These inductors can be used in many circuit-level and system-level RF applications, including: broadband decoupling networks, bias tee circuits (in optical communication systems), and in equipment using high-speed digital technology.

Richardson RFPD, Inc. stocks an assortment of Ultra-Broadband Inductors, each of which provides low insertion loss and an excellent match over multiple octaves of frequency spectrum. In fact, these inductors provide broadband performance (excellent return loss) from around 1 MHz (or so) through 40 GHz. They also include a rugged powdered iron core.

Specific attributes which are important in selecting the right Ultra-Broadband Inductor for your application include: Inductance (µH); Minimum Frequency (MHz or KHz); Maximum Frequency (GHz); DC Resistance (Ω); DC Current (mA); Insertion Loss (dB); and Return Loss (dB).
