EEssential Weekly Notes #5

Ferrite bead vs Inductor

The ferrite bead is lossy at high frequencies, i.e. low Q or resistive.  The high frequency energy are absorbed and dissipated as heat.   A pure inductor is non-lossy and stores energy.  While a real inductor has some inevitable resistive element, it absorbs energy equally at all frequencies.

Mu-Metal

Mu-metal is high permeability material; it achieves the magnetic field shielding by redirecting magnetic field lines.
