Small signal analysis of an inductor

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi,

Does anyone has a working version of the tutorial
- Small signal analysis of an inductor
for Comsol 4.0 or higher ?

Thanks

I attached here a trial for a "Small-Signal Analysis of an Inductor" with Comsol 4.1.
I followed the tutorial for 3.5 but I only calculate the inductance for one value of the bias current.

-The bias point is obtained from a stationary solution.
-Then a time-harmonic simulation of the linearized model is superimposed on the stationary solution.

The inductance should be between 0.2 and 0.22 but I obtained 0.0093.

Any idea ?

I attached here a improved version for a "Small-Signal Analysis of an Inductor" with Comsol 4.1.

-The bias point is obtained from a stationary solution.
-Then a time-harmonic simulation of the linearized model is superimposed on the stationary solution.

I think that the initial conditions for the linearized time-harmonic simulation are correctly set up but for a subtle reason the inductance calculation is incorrect.

Can anyone have a look ?
