by Dr. Ray Ridley at Ridley Engineering. Inductor manufacturers have made great progress in the families of standard parts. The selection of off-the-shelf parts in this category have increased dramatically in the past 10 years. However, more and more engineers are designing their own inductors and transformers from scratch. (more…)

Short Tutorial: RF Choke vs. Inductor

Tomáš Zedníček Posted On 7.6.2018

source: Electronics 360 article by Abe Michelen

Inductors and RF chokes are basically the same type of electrical components. The difference in design is related to the function the device will perform in a circuit. Most engineers are more familiar with inductors – some think both devices can be used interchangeably – that are prevalent in frequency selective systems, such as a tuner for radio receivers or filters.
