  • Patent number: 4910452
    Abstract: Efficient high frequency operation of magnetic devices is achieved by utilizing ferrites that have a low power dissipation hysteresis characteristic and by designing these magnetic devices to operate within an operational range where all applied magnetic forces to the magnetic core have a substantially linear constant permeability response. Within this operational range the hysteresis loop of the selected ferrite material approximates an ellipse with very little area encompassed between the increasing and decreasing B-H locus of the hysteresis loop. The cyclic energy dissipation is significantly reduced as compared to conventional magnetic operations and high frequency operation can be achieved with very high efficiencies.
