2. Goals
• To find and design a solenoid coil which can
produce higher H-field (1000 – 3000A/m) at
13.5Mhz.
– Current
– Materials (copper wire, size, radius, etc.)
– Radius Change: is the radius change per turn of
helix/coil
– Pitch: is the distance between helix/coil turns
– Turns: is the number turn of the helix/coil
