What Magnetic Field Would be Generated from this Coil Layout (Picture)

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the magnetic field generated by a specific coil layout, with participants noting it resembles the field of a rectangular coil but with variations due to the wire's shape. For precise analysis, simulation is recommended, and users suggest programs like Mathematica and Matlab for this purpose. The Biot-Savart law is mentioned as a relevant principle for understanding the magnetic field. Participants express appreciation for any additional information on simulation methods. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the importance of simulation in accurately determining the magnetic field characteristics.

If you want a precise answer, simulate it.
It would look similar to the field of a rectangular coil, just with dents following the dents of the wire.
 
Thanks for you reply, how would I go about simulating it? What program would I use? Any information is greatly appreciated.
 
I was using the Smith chart to determine the input impedance of a transmission line that has a reflection from the load. One can do this if one knows the characteristic impedance Zo, the degree of mismatch of the load ZL and the length of the transmission line in wavelengths. However, my question is: Consider the input impedance of a wave which appears back at the source after reflection from the load and has traveled for some fraction of a wavelength. The impedance of this wave as it...
