How to add capacitance in between two points end points of spiral coil?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on integrating capacitance within a spiral coil design for RFID tags. The user has calculated the necessary capacitance value for resonance at a specific frequency. It is established that every pair of points on the inductor inherently possesses capacitance, and adding additional capacitance introduces parasitic effects. To accurately determine the impact of added capacitance, the use of calculus or Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulation software, such as Ansys, is recommended, alongside empirical measurement techniques.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of spiral coil design principles
  • Knowledge of capacitance and resonance in electrical circuits
  • Familiarity with parasitic capacitance effects
  • Proficiency in using FEA simulation software like Ansys
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the principles of distributed impedance in inductors
  • Learn how to perform FEA simulations using Ansys for coil designs
  • Study methods for empirically measuring capacitance in RF applications
  • Explore techniques for mitigating parasitic capacitance in coil designs
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, RFID tag designers, and anyone involved in coil design and resonance optimization will benefit from this discussion.

Hi All,

I am at present working on coil design for RFID tag, i want to know how you add capacitance in spiral coil i.e. how you join two ends in spiral structure with capacitance in between, i have already calculated capacitance value needed to resonant at particular frequency.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Well every pair of points on such an inductor already has capacitance and when you add more you induces more parasites. Generally you are going to have to get out the calculus and/or FEA simulation software like Ansys to figure it out OR empirically add capacitance and measuring it with instruments. It's an distributed impedance problem
