Does anyone know how to measure the Q value of an inductor, using Agilent's ADS? Or any simulation package?
I have a inductor from the SMT library, and it seems to have a higher Q value than the data sheet says it should have. I want to measure the Q value and see what I am getting. I am using these inductors to build a high-order filter and the Q value is important as I need to obtain a flat pass-band (0.2dB ripple).
If anyone can point me in the right direction, or give my any help in measuring Q of an inductor, then I would be most grateful.
Thanks
Phil
