Solid-core Inductors Versus Air Core Inductors: Which is better?
Air core inductors are being highly publicized for minimal signal loss in higher magnetic field strengths. However, air core inductors are associated with the need for increased number of turns in a coil necessary to achieve the same inductance that would occur in a solid-core inductor.
The power inductor market is anticipated to progress at a modest CAGR of ~4% during the forecast period. Electronics manufacturers are striving to gain better understanding of solid-core inductors that have low electrical conductivity of air, which translates into low magnetic permeability and lower inductance compared to air core inductors. Both these inductors are balancing out business for manufacturers in the power inductor market, since air core inductors are preferred in radio transmitters.
