SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on the calculation of self-inductance and capacitance for rectangular spiral coils. The user seeks specific formulas, noting the availability of resources for helical and circular coils but lacking information for rectangular designs. Two resources were shared: a calculator from circuits.dk and a paper from Stanford University. The user encountered issues with unit specifications, particularly regarding inductance in microhenries and capacitance values that appear inconsistent.
