Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
This article presents a full-wave 3-D FEM simulation methodology for magnetic toroidal cores up to 100 MHz. 3-D FEM simulation of magnetic toroidal cores has gained significant relevance in recent years. However, the use of magnetic materials in simulation presents some difficulties. Complex permeability is typically the only electromagnetic property used in magnetic toroidal cores' simulation. Nonetheless, recent results suggest that other properties must also be considered in high-frequency simulations. The presented methodology is particularly practical as it accurately models commercial cores easily. Electromagnetic properties valid for simulation are directly extracted from the cores with two simple setups. No complex fixtures or sample modification are required. Two ferrites (MnZn and NiZn) and a nanocrystalline core are studied. Complex permeability is characterized with a largely used method, and complex permittivity is extracted directly from the cores using the parallel plate capacitor method. With this methodology, cores' electromagnetic models are achieved, which are validated by comparing 3-D FEM simulations of several inductors with their measurements. Results lead to a simple and practical methodology to perform small-signal cores simulation in linear zone up to 100 MHz, which had not been achieved so far.
