Perhaps there is some (stray?) capacitance in parallel with the inductor which
is varying. If there were a resulting resonance near your operating frequency,
this might be critical. Just a thought..

Dear Experts,
We use the inductor part "1812CS-102XJLC" of Coilcraft in our RFID
product as EMI filter. Continuously we face one issue, about 20 to 30 %
products are functionally failing due to this inductor. While we change the
inductor alone the product passes the functional tests. Hence we studied
the characteristics of the inductor.
Measurements carried out using the Agilent Impedance analyser 4294A
shows the failing inductors and passing inductors are identical with
respect to the below listed parameters for the entire measuring range of 40
Hz to 110 MHz. Our frequency of operation is 13.56 MHz and both the failing
inductors and passing inductors are identical in this particular frequency
also with respect to the below parameters.
Is there anything else than the below listed parameters critical for
an inductor? Has any one of you come across such an issue in your devices?
I request your help.
a. Ra.c
b. Conductance - 'G'
c. Reactance - 'X'
d. Susceptance - 'B'
e. Impedance - 'Z'
f. Phase angle of the impedance
g. Value of R, L & C measured using the equivalent circuit method of
measurement.
Sincerely
K.Balasubramanian
