The effects of substrate resistivity and inductor spiral length on the substrate eddy and distribution effects are captured. The substrate eddy influence factors of an inductor （6 turn, 3 060 μm in length） fabricated on low （ 1 Ω. cm） and high resistivity（ 1 000 Ω.cm） silicon substrates are 0. 3 and 0. 04, and the distribution-effects- occurring frequencies are 1.8 GHz and 14. 5 GHz, respectively. The measurement results show that the equivalent circuit model of the inductor on low resistivity silicon must take into consideration substrate eddy effects and distribution effects. However, the circuit model of the inductor on high resistivity silicon cannot take into account the substrate eddy effects and the distribution effects at the frequencies of interest. Its simple model shows agreement with the measurements, and the contrast is within 7%.展开更多

The magnetic field distribution in the working gap was analyzed and the current-speed relationship was investigated. A mathematical model for the time response was deduced. The results show that a linear relationship between current and magnetic field is seen when the magnetic materials are not saturated and the magnetic field is uniform in the working section. The rotation speed of the driven shaft changes linearly with increasing time. The response is rapid and can be as short as milliseconds. This meets the starting requirements of belt conveyors.展开更多
