Abstract

Values of mutual inductance between two circular conductors lying in parallel planes have been computed. The results are presented in graphical form and their relevance to the design of radio-frequency coupled implant systems is mentioned.

Sommaire

Les valeurs de l'inductance mutuelle entre deux conducteurs circulaires situés en plans parallèles ont été estimées.Les résultats sont présentés en forme graphique et leurs rapport avec l'arrangement de systèmes d'implantés couplés de la radio-fréquence est mentionné.

Zusammenfassung

Werte von gegenseitiger Induktanz zwischen zwei kreisförmigen Konduktoren, die auf paralleler Ebene liegen, wurden durch einen Rechenautomaten errechnet. Die Resultate werden in graphischer Form dargestellt und ihre Relevanz auf Hochfrequenz verkoppelte Implantationsmethoden wird erwähnt.
