Rs:
- Finite conductivity
- Skin effect: Surface currents induced by the magnetic field (eddy
current) are concentrated near surface and effectively increases the
resistance. More pronounced in higher frequency.
- Core loss: Dielectric loss
- Radiation loss
- Recently, on-chip inductors are widely used since the required inductance
is becoming smaller and processing technology is getting better
