Time-Domain Homogenization of Windings Using B-input Cauer Ladder Network Method

This paper proposes a time-domain homogenization of windings using the B-input Cauer ladder network (CLN) method. First, the novel CLN procedure is presented to derive the equivalent circuit of a unit cell as the homogenized model of the winding. Then, the equivalent circuit is applied to finite-element analyses of a flat-wire inductor to verify the validity and effectiveness of the proposed method.
