Electromagnetic Analysis and Experimental Study of Laminated Mn-Zn Toroidal Ferrite Cores for High-Frequency...

To achieve high-frequency inductance and impedance enhancement for effective electromagnetic interference (EMI) mitigation in power electronics, this paper presents an electromagnetic analysis and experimental study of laminated Mn-Zn toroidal ferrite cores. The electromagnetic field is analyzed using a 2D analytical solution based on a simplified Cartesian approximation. Although neglecting curvature, this approach enables efficient eigenfunction expansion and is rigorously validated against cylindrical finite difference (FDM) and 3D finite element (FEM) benchmarks. The results demonstrate that lamination effectively interrupts eddy current loops; notably, a four-layer structure increases the resonant frequency by approximately 2.8 times compared to a monolithic core. Experimental measurements confirm that this design significantly mitigates the skin effect and extends the stable frequency bandwidth. This study establishes a validated, computationally efficient methodology for optimizing core geometries to prevent impedance degradation.
