Hi K.
I've had this kind of problem in the past on Mains filters. My problem was
the core material was saturating, at the far ends of the BH curve. This
non linearity actually boosted emissions around 2MHz!
The cure was to space the inductor core halves apart with about 0.05mm of
plastic shim to increase reluctance and to keep the cores away from
saturation. Worked for me!

Chris Duprés

Inductor mystery
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
