Fixed Inductors

A fixed inductor is an electrical device that is used to increase the voltage of an electrical signal. It consists of a coil of wire wrapped around a core, usually made of ferrite or iron powder. When AC rises, an electromagnetic field is created and current moves through the winding, resulting in an increase in the AC voltage.

HKQ04023N2C-E is a fixed inductor that is designed for applications requiring high performance in a small size. The product is fully shielded and has an integrated ferrite core. This allows for greater surge capability and higher current handling while maintaining the same size as a discrete inductor.

HKQ04023N2C-E Application Field and Working Principle

HKQ04023N2C-E is primarily used for applications requiring high performance in a small size, such as RF switching, clock source selection, RF oscillators, and RF signal amplifiers. It supports a wide range of frequencies up to 6GHz and is ideal for applications in the GHz range.

On an RF signal amplifier, the HKQ04023N2C-E would be used to supply additional power in order to achieve the desired amplification. This is achieved by using the inductor to temporarily store energy and then releasing it at the right time to increase the power of the signal. It is also capable of providing a signal delay by initiating a time delay between the input and output signals.

The actual working principle of the inductor is quite simple. A magnetic field is created by passing current through the coil, and this field induces a voltage in the coil. The voltage is then boosted by the reactance of the inductor, which increases the current flow in proportion to the input voltage. This increase in current causes the voltage to rise, resulting in the voltage increase required to amplify the input signal.

The inductor also has the capacity to suppress and reject unwanted frequencies. The inductor works in a similar way to the resistor as it impedes or reduces current from passing through it. However, whereas the resistor reduces current in a uniform manner, the inductor has the ability to reduce specific frequencies. This is made possible by the fact that inductors have a higher impedance at higher frequencies and so are better able to reject unwanted signals. This feature makes the HKQ04023N2C-E useful for applications such as filtering, data transmission, and clock source selection.

In summary, the HKQ04023N2C-E is a fixed inductor that is capable of providing greater surge capabilities, higher current handling, and better filtering capabilities than a discrete inductor of the same size. It is primarily used for applications requiring high performance in a small size such as RF switching, clock source selection, RF oscillators, and RF signal amplifiers.
