Computer-aided design and application of integrated LC filters

In this paper, methods of design and application of an integrated inductor-capacitor-transformer (LCT) are presented. A generalized modeling approach is also described. On the basis of this model and by using practical data, CAD software is developed for LCT, Several integrated LC and LCT samples were designed, built, and tested. Finally, a resonant power converter, using the integrated LCT, was built and tested.
