Claim Text:
1. A combined inductor and capacitor comprising: an inductor providing a conductor extending between a first and second terminal point through multiple loops defining a surrounded volume; a capacitor positioned within the surrounded volume and providing a capacitor structure including opposed conductive plates attached, respectively, to a third and fourth terminal and an insulator separating the opposed conductive plates; a high magnetic permeability material distributed within the capacitor structure comprised of at least one of a ferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic material; wherein the first and second terminals are electrically separate from the third and fourth terminals; wherein the conductive plates and insulator are together wound in a spiral; and wherein the high magnetic permeability material operates to increase an inductance of the inductor by a factor of no less than 2 when compared to the inductance of the inductor without the high magnetic permeability material.
