Introduction

Solar panels, Dartmouth College

Magnetic components are necessary in most power electronics circuits, but are often the largest and most expensive components. They are also useful in other electronic circuits, particularly for RF (radio frequency) applications. The Dartmouth Magnetic Component Research group is developing both advanced thin-film magnetic components using microfabrication techniques, and new designs and design methods for components based on conventional fabrication techniques.

Recent updates:
