Characterization and modeling of copper foil conductor for high frequency power distribution

Abstract

This paper investigates characteristics of copper foil conductor for 50 kHz high frequency AC power distribution. Characterization includes parameter estimation, power loss analysis and electro-magnetic field simulation using FEM software. Experiments have been conducted to obtain parameters for the double layer copper foil transmission line. Further, a model for the high frequency AC transmission line is proposed based on the obtained experimental results.
