Solution Overview

Problem

Existing coupling loop circuits fail to cancel parasitic inductance when there is a positional deviation between the first and second inductors, leading to ineffective noise filtering.

Innovation Solution

A coupling loop circuit design where the sixth conductor three-dimensionally crosses the second conductor, and the eighth conductor three-dimensionally crosses both the second and fourth conductors, ensuring spatial overlap between the first and second loop areas formed by the conductors, thereby maintaining effective electromagnetic field coupling and canceling parasitic inductance even with positional deviations.

1Reliability

If the first inductor and the second inductor are layered in mutually different layers and spatially overlap each other, then the parasitic inductance is canceled out by the mutual inductance caused by electromagnetic field coupling, but the cancellation becomes ineffective when a positional deviation occurs in the spatial overlap

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from a two-dimensional planar overlap arrangement to a three-dimensional spatial arrangement where conductors are positioned at different heights (different layers) and oriented at different angles. Specifically, the first loop area is formed by conductors in a first plane while the second loop area is formed by conductors in a second plane intersecting the first plane, creating a three-dimensional overlapping configuration that maintains magnetic coupling effectiveness despite positional deviations in any single plane

2Reliability

If the sixth conductor three-dimensionally crosses the second conductor and the eighth conductor three-dimensionally crosses the second and fourth conductors, then the overlapping area is formed by four conductors providing stable magnetic coupling, but the circuit complexity increases

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the coupling loop circuit into two distinct functional segments: a first loop area formed by four conductors (first, second, third, fourth) and a second loop area formed by four conductors (fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth). Each segment independently forms a complete loop, and the segmentation allows each loop to be designed and manufactured separately before being integrated through three-dimensional overlapping, thereby simplifying the overall manufacturing process while maintaining stable magnetic coupling
