Inductor or antenna arrangement with integral series resonating capacitors
First Claim
1. An improved series-resonant inductor circuit component arrangement, comprising in combination:
- a wire conductor of a predetermined length wound in helical form of substantially uniform diameter and having respective ends for connection to associated circuitry, said conductor being divided into a plurality of individual wire segments, each capable of resonance at a particular frequency of interest; and
a plurality of series-resonating capacitors individually interconnecting a respective pair of said inductor wire segments, respectively, to form a plurality of series-resonant tuned circuits,the number of said wire segments and said series-resonating capacitors being selected to determine generally the terminal impedance of said inductor arrangement presented at said terminal ends.

Abstract
An improved inductor arrangement suitable for a wide variety of applications, but particularly advantageous for use in the design of ferrite antenna structures intended to operate at the relatively higher frequencies. The disclosed inductor arrangement includes a spiral inductor or coil divided into a plurality of wire segments, respective pairs of which are interconnected by individual capacitance elements to form a plurality of series-resonant circuits at a particular frequency or range of interest. The capacitance elements may be provided in the form of discreet components or by a suitable electro-deposition process in the interests of further optimizing size factor. The number of individual wire segments and resonating capacitance elements may be selected to provide a given terminal impedance for the inductor arrangement within a certain limited design range.
