In this paper, a simple magnetization model convenient for engineering applications is presented based on the expressions of the first-order LTI system model. Considering the trade-off between the nonlinearity of anhysteretic magnetization and the hysteresis width, the proposed model employs two different equations with different magnetic field amplitudes. Furthermore, the proposed model utilizes the first-order LTI system model with a low magnetic field amplitude and a simple nonlinear function, based on the amplitude-frequency function, with a high magnetic field amplitude. Two important characteristic parameters for engineering applications, namely, amplitude and the equivalent phase lag, were exacted and analyzed to validate the computation precision of the proposed model. Then, the model was verified through comparisons to the validated Jiles-Atherton model. For easy use, similar to a physics-based model instead of a fitting method, empirical expressions for the model parameters were given, and applicable ranges of these equations were determined using the parameters of the Jiles-Atherton model. Finally, an example of the magnetization model applied to an on/off type device was computed to further verify the effectiveness of the proposed model with quite a simple expression.
