Microstrip Inductor Calculator

A Microstrip Inductor Calculator is a tool designed to calculate the inductance of a microstrip inductor — a type of inductor formed by a conductive trace on a dielectric substrate with a ground plane beneath it. Microstrip inductors are widely used in RF (radio frequency) and microwave circuits because they can be integrated directly into printed circuit boards (PCBs), making them compact and cost-effective.

Why use a Microstrip Inductor Calculator?
Designing microstrip inductors manually can be complex because their inductance depends on multiple factors like:

Physical dimensions: Width, length, and thickness of the strip.
Dielectric properties: Dielectric constant and thickness of the substrate.
Electromagnetic behavior: Parasitic capacitance, current distribution, and frequency-dependent effects.
The calculator simplifies this by using established formulas or simulation data to quickly provide the inductance value, ensuring that the inductor meets design requirements for impedance matching, filtering, and resonance in high-frequency circuits.
