Discussing how RF chip inductors are an integral poart of many tuning and filtering circuits, an application note from Laird Technologies is titled RF Chip Inductor Applications. It explains how RF chip inductors reduce or eliminate EMI noise onthe PCB. The inductors are available in small sizes with monolithic construction, which provides stable, low-loss inductance over broad frequencies in a small footprint.
The note lists multi-layer, wire wound and thin film inductor types.
