Example11 Magnetic Field Distribution of Coil Antenna with Capacitor for Resonance

General

  • Magnetic field distribution at the LF band (around 130KHz) is analyzed.

  • The magnetic flux density distribution, the circuit current, and the inductance are calculated.

  • The analysis is coupled with the external circuit.
    Resonant capacitors are placed in the external circuit.

  • Unless specified in the list below, the default conditions will be applied.

External circuit is as follows.

An AC power is placed on the primary side.

The primary coil and the secondary coil are connected on the model side.

The capacitors are connected to both of the primary and secondary coils in order to have the LC series resonance.

Model

The primary coil (Coil1) and the secondary coil (Coil2) are defined by the loop coil.

Results

The distribution of the magnetic flux density at 0.25641e-5[s] is shown below.

 

The circuit current waveforms are as follows.

The current of the primary coil (blue wave) is a sine wave and shifted from the voltage power (cosine wave) by π/2 phase.

The currents of the primary coil and the secondary coil show the opposite phases.

 

The result of inductance calculation is shown below.
