Towards Accurate MHz Core Loss Measurements
Miniaturized magnetic components play an important role in achieving high efficiency and high power density in power converters. Accurate core loss data are essential when optimizing magnetic components, but making accurate core loss measurements remains challenging, especially at MHz frequencies. As a result, many research groups have developed their own testers in pursuit of improved accuracy, and the amount of published core loss data has increased. However, large variations in these data shed light on fundamental barriers to accurate MHz core loss measurement. This paper identifies these barriers and presents methods for overcoming them.
