From television/streaming to fiber transmission networks, the bandwidth of data communications is increasing, and the integrity of RF signals has become a major design concern.
This paper provides examples of how different inductors can be used for RF isolation in a range of circuits from relatively narrow band applications like portable devices up to broadband networks for data distribution. The different types of inductors used in these applications are identified and discussed.
