Abstract:
An inductive device that includes a conductive via and a metal layer are disclosed. A particular method of forming an electronic device includes forming a metal layer that contacts a surface of a substrate. The substrate, including the surface, is formed from a substantially uniform dielectric material. The metal layer contacts a conductive via that extends at least partially within the substrate. The metal layer and the conductive via form at least a portion of an inductive device.
Abstract:
An inductor tunable by a variable magnetic flux density component is disclosed. A particular device includes an inductor. The device further includes a variable magnetic flux density component (VMFDC) positioned to influence a magnetic field of the inductor when a current is applied to the inductor.
Abstract:
A diplexer includes a substrate having a set of through substrate vias. The diplexer also includes a first set of traces on a first surface of the substrate. The first traces are coupled to the through substrate vias. The diplexer further includes a second set of traces on a second surface of the substrate that is opposite the first surface. The second traces are coupled to opposite ends of the set of through substrate vias. The through substrate vias and the traces also operate as a 3D inductor. The diplexer also includes a capacitor supported by the substrate.
